It's someone up there looking at previous great human achievements and expecting them instead of helping them happen. The philosophy of value capture is the term. Get people who are influential or otherwise able and squeeze it out of them for the immediate profit.
This seems like statistical bias in measurement, but it's also likely that enthusiasts would have both more count and more valuable items while also being more likely to show them off.
What if subatomic particles are actually whole universes, and their properties are a reflection of... what kind of peoples dominated, conquered their universe, and what kind of automation was left running after them themselves were gone. Some kinds of entropy harvesting automata that perpetually self build and become everything in their spacetime.
We're creating forces bigger than ourselves, and we may reach a point of no return.
I don't totally understand, but I like where you're going with this. I picture a cosmological history, the rise and fall of billions of subatomic universes and civilizations, many of them consumed by their own autonomous pseudo-intelligent technologies for better or worse, which on a macro scale are behaviors of particles. We're currently working on our particle, making collective decisions that will affect the super-universe we're a part of, in a tiny but significant way.
