Think of a video game or a simulation, before it was coded there was nothing and after some hard work, this thing finally starts up...black screen, but there s already some physic at work and in the first almost infinite fraction of seconds, everything in this universe is created (a few cpu/gpu cycles). This is the dark age.
After some fine tuning, this procedural universe begins to form galaxies, and through multiple generations of stars, heavier elements...eventually life appears. That should be entertaining for its creator.
The universe is just a glorified no man's sky simulation. Hence why a lot of scientists believe it's holographic and encoded in 2D like a gpu would rasterize a 3D world in pixels.
We already do the same thing.. how would look like the procedural worlds we create in like, a hundred years ? a lot like new universes, with so complicated IA in it, the individuals will ask themselves the same questions than we presently asking.
But but.. what made the creator of this stuff ? Shut up and make your own universe.
