The Big Bang. The start of the Universe. Scientist have many theories about what it was. But here comes The Reveal... it was the scientists who made it. Or an accident. Maybe even the very protagonists of the story. Part of the Historical In-Joke or Been There, Shaped History. Compare Beethoven Was an Alien Spy, Phlebotinum Killed the Dinosaurs. Tends to involve a Stable Time Loop. Subtrope of Real Event, Fictional Cause. Can be considered a subtrope of Creation Myth — well, except that this is usually in-universe reality rather than myth.

"The Last Question": The titular question refers to humans trying to figure out how to reverse entropy, the heat-death of the universe. By the end of the story, the massive human-designed computer Multivac has figured out an answer, but the universe has already died. So it recites from Book of Genesis, "LET THERE BE LIGHT!", implying the creation of a new universe. | |

Discworld In Soul Music, it's revealed that the first thing ever heard in the universe was "One. Two. One, two, three, four." and then the big bang happened, thanks to "Music with Rocks In", as the main theme of the book is that the music is alive, and wants to be played, no matter the cost to the player. This is in contradiction to earlier books, but Discworld is famously loose with its origin stories. In The Science of Discworld, the wizards of the Unseen University first create an empty Bigger on the Inside "universe" different from their own by draining away the Background Magic Field from an area — and then the Dean sticks his hand in and wiggles his fingers, which, since nothingness is just somethingness waiting to happen or something, causes the Big Bang that creates our universe. |

The Gods Themselves: At the end, the heroes say that the way they are draining the energy from another universe (which is all a single star) will eventually cause a Big Bang by making the star go supernova. It is unknown whether it happened in our universe, since spontaneous leakages are quite possible. | |

Marvel Universe: At the end of the Secret Wars II series, the energy of the Beyonder is shunted out of our universe and becomes a Big Bang, thus creating a new universe. In Venom (Donny Cates), the primordial god Knull credits the Celestials with causing the Big Bang; though in the 2014 Silver Surfer comic it's revealed that Norrin Radd was in-part responsible as well. One Doctor Strange comic has Strange and his Arch-Enemy Baron Mordo act as the "good angel" and "bad angel", respectively, to a sorcerer from the future who is traveling back in time, becoming ever more powerful with each passing second. Mordo convinces him to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, but Strange convinces him to create the Garden of Eden for a protohuman and his mate. Finally, at the very beginning of existence, the sorcerer concludes that life has the right to exist and sets off the Big Bang before ascending beyond the physical universe. |

In Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019), the entirety of The Multiverse is destroyed by the Anti-Monitor. The only way to undo the damage is to travel back to the Dawn of Time and jumpstart a new universe, one that more or less recreates the world as they knew it. All Arrowverse episodes that air after Crisis are set in the universe that the heroes created and dubbed "Earth-Prime". | |

Imperiex of The DCU, a hive minded mechanical entity, saw its purpose as being the "hollowing" of the universe, destroying the flawed creation and remaking it in a new Big Bang. Ironically, the flaw it detected in the universe was itself, and a massive cooperative effort managed to throw him into the past where he in fact became the Big Bang in the first place, via a Stable Time Loop, a fact which Imperiex realizes the moment before it dies. Also, it is stated that the reason there is a multiverse is that a scientist decided to view the Big Bang and disrupted it that way. | |

Cities in Flight: Evidence arises that two universes (one of them 'ours') will pass "through" each other, incidentally wiping each other back to a blank slate. Several members of one of the Cities decide to use energy from the engines to throw themselves outside of the universe into the Void just before contact, along with a package of explosives in at least one, and possibly all, of the space suits. Then the explosives will be detonated, either on a timer or by manually pressing a button, depending on preference. The new universe(s) will be seeded with constants based on those embodied by the astronaut(s). | |

In God's Debris, the event known as the Big Bang was actually God killing Himself to experience the only thing He hasn't yet known—His own death. The entire post-BB universe is actually the eponymous debris of God, i.e. matter and probability. | |

Family Guy In "The Griffin Family History", when Peter starts telling the history of his family, he starts at the beginning of the universe, which was the result of one of God's farts that He set on fire. In "The Big Pang Theory", it turns out the entire universe came into existence because of an accident involving Stewie's time machine. |

The Transformers (Marvel) gets in on this. Unicron (at this point a "dark god", not yet his robotic self) destroyed the entire universe, even "the stuff of space itself", and then went to sleep in the void. But he hadn't been thorough enough, and the tiny leftovers coalesced and another universe (the current one) was off and running. | |
