The multi-verse of different realities and rules that govern them?

That's fine. My dad used to think reality was sentient so that if anyone ever understood the complexity of our cosmos, it would instantly change and be replaced by something even more complex. I really don't know what he was drinking that night. >.>

Sounds suspiciously like your dad had been listening to the second Hitchhiker radio series or reading the book based on same:

Quote: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.

Or are you by any chance the son of Douglas Adams? Worship
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
