When looking at the Shadesmar map, we see names of places away from Shadesmar called Expanses.

 

I think that the Expanse of the Densities is referring to the 10 Gas Giants in the Rosharan System.

 

Thoughts?

Is there anything that we don't know about the Expanses right now that you'd be willing to tell us?

I think I've told you about all of them. Is there one I haven't told you about yet?

Um, I don't know, I've checked the words of Brandon before I wrote these questions. I think we know that um one of them is... Scadrial, and one of them is Warbreaker--

So Densities is Sel. We put that one on, right, Expanse of the Densities? So, if we didn't you now know, Densities is Sel.

The Cognitive Realm exists only in a planet if there are people inhabiting them or something.

A slight clarification - the Cognitive realm is expanded on a planet if there is life, but all things have a manifestation in the cognitive realm, its just that empty space or places without life are very small.

 

To answer the question - the expanses, as covered in the coppermind, are actually the paths to different planets, with each planet covered in the article. There isn't a clear answer as to how to get to the gas giants, or the moons, but my own theory is it is either a path one can take while moving towards the expanses, like the expanse of the densities, or via the nexuses, as they resemble the expanses in being like mountains.
