In a bizarre incident that has left the scientific community stunned, a man has accidentally rebooted the universe by leaning on a giant reset button.
According to eyewitnesses, the man was exploring a remote corner of the universe when he came across the button, which was the size of a small moon. Unable to resist its allure, he leaned on it, triggering a massive cosmic explosion that sent shockwaves throughout the cosmos.
As a result of the explosion, the universe reverted back to its original state, with all of its inhabitants returned to their respective timelines. Scientists say that this massive reset has caused untold chaos throughout the universe, with civilizations destroyed, empires toppled, and stars snuffed out.
"Everything is all messed up now," said Dr. Sandra Lee, a physicist at the University of California. "People are reporting that they're living their lives over again, but with small differences that are causing huge changes down the line. It's like we're trapped in a never-ending loop of existence."
According to Lee, the man who triggered the cosmic event is now searching frantically for a way to undo his mistake, but so far he has been unsuccessful.
"The problem is that he doesn't really know what he's doing," said Lee. "He's just stumbling around the universe, hoping that something will work. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack."
Despite the chaos that has been unleashed, some people are finding the whole situation rather amusing.
"I mean, it's not every day that someone accidentally reboots the universe," said Dave Johnson, a plumber from Brooklyn. "It's like something out of a sci-fi movie. I just hope I get to keep my hair this time around."
The scientific community is urging people to remain calm and to carry on with their lives as best they can.
"We're still trying to assess the full extent of the damage," said Lee. "But one thing is for certain: we're all in this together, and we're going to have to find a way to make it work."
In the meantime, the man who triggered the cosmic event continues his search for a way to undo his mistake, hoping against hope that he will find a solution before it's too late.
