It's not the players who are living there, it's their characters.The problem is that for example something like gravity does not work like in our real world, as it includes spelljammer gravity which is notably different (and in 5e, thanks to Dungeon of he Mad Mage).Furthermore, there are good reasons to doubt fundamental physics. There is an elemental plane of air which provides the air on the worlds. It is an elemental plane of (O2 21% / N2 70% / Ar 0.9% / etc.) ? No, it's a plane full of the stuff of air, and therefore the air that adventurers breathe is the air element, which is elemental. Same when you produce a fireball, it cannot be a physical combustion, it requires no comburant and does not suck out the air to produce CO2 (as an example). It's just stuff from the elemental plane of fire personified.I really suggest reading Brandon Sanderson's "The Stormlight Archives", you will see a fantasy world with its own physics and metaphysics, very logical, but which functions on different principles, and it's as good a basis for a fantasy world as our own.For the sake of simplicity, you are welcome to make the hypothesis above, but please realise that it's not that simple, and that it cannot be forced upon others since there is clear evidence to the contrary.Also, most of the questions that you are asking probably have the same answer as the real world, but they are completely trivial and unlikely to lead to interesting gaming. However, considering a completely different perspective, in particular about elements, and plane, and metaphysics can make your game more magical and interesting.</blockquote>
