just choose an electron somewhere random in the universe, and declare said electron to be the legal property of every atom in the universe. problem solved
“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.” - Douglas Adams
Potentially. Douglas Adam’s imagined a lot of weird shit, and was also good at combining words in ways that drove imagination in the readers even if he didn’t have any specific thing in mind when written.
His words here could be taken to mean “God” didn’t want to be known/understood, like the Tower of Babel.
Unrelated to the previous, the Elder Scrolls mythos contains a sort of transcendence concept called CHIM, which involves coming to fully understand reality and the person’s relationship to it. Since that reality is, according to at least some, a dream, that means accepting that you are just a part of a dream. Managing to fundamentally internalize that without winking out of existence is apparently extraordinarily difficult. All that to say, perhaps a similar mechanic could drive the “dream” to reset itself, or start anew.

I think in this way, one universe was obliterated and ours was created at the big bang.

So basically the simulation argument where the guys running the simulation are watching us.
