Are the witches of the witcher universe aware of time and space?
Do they know that earth is just one of the many planets in the universe?

Well Ciri does mention this to Geralt a few times and I do remember Yennefer explaining Ciri's abilities to Geralt as well.

It is not really correct to say Earth is one of the many planets in Universe. In Witcher world main event was Conjunction of the Spheres which occurred 1,500 years before the current events and messed up borders between parallel universes. Is the "Earth" in Witcher universe only planet or not we do not know. It could be flat or just an illusion.

Explaination book wise if I remember correctly. Their not on earth, and they are aware of other planets. They are also aware of most modern day geopraphical and natural knowledge. They even talk about orbits, seasons, axis tilt, and enviromental things and specifically say that its common knowledge among novices. The main difference is that the only way for travel between worlds for most is teleportation, of which very few can do. The conjuction allowed free mass travel, but eventually closed. The elves used to be able to travel relativly freely, but they have had problems recently (Main goal of Wild Hunt in books is to use ciri to allow a mass evacuation off their world).

Witches know it for a few reasons, astronomical study, some artifacts like a mirror that lets them see into other worlds, and the fact that some mages were very very old and were alive during the conjuction. Its also not out of the question that a few had gone between worlds before, like avalach.

In the books, ciri also visits earth briefly, scareing the ♥♥♥♥ out of some medieval germans I think, and later accidently bringing black death from europe into the witcher world (Catriona plague). That said, theres nothing to indicate that earth is special, or that its the original homeworld of humans(Although that seems likely). So possibly aware of earth, but not really interested. Definitly aware of other worlds.

Also I may be wrong but I thought cyberpunk was set on earth in the future so theres that.

Yeah, most mages and witchers know this since magic and monsters and the like came into the world when 2 worlds merged.

From the title I though you asked wether they can tell time! :steammocking:

But regarding your actual question - I think they are. There are several books ingame talking about other dimensions, there are monsters that are said to come from another worlds (vampires) and the entire premise of White Frost and Ciri is quite clear to the many witches and mages.
Big joke lol

Obviously they do. Their planet is not our Earth but a fictional one. But the humans of Geralt's world are not indigenous to it They came to that world during the first Conjunction of Spheres (an alignment of planets) which created a powerful magical force that drew various races through to that world.

So could Philippa or whats her name (Geralts girl) have the power to time travel like AKUUUUU

Unicorns can. Ciri can... some elves can. Majority can't traverse time or space in that scale.

But yeah most astronomical, geological, physics knowledge is in fact present in Witcher universe, in books it is made apparent but in the games... it is implied.

Also didn't Ciri end up in Camelot with Arhur? The author is going bananas with that world tbh. CDPR got the guy famous and now he is tripping, hard.
