What if I told you atoms were gnomes? That their smallness didn't have a set limit and that the universe was held together by countless gnomes holding hands in a pan-cosmic daisy chain which encompassed all of creation?
We don't yet know this to be true, but it could be.
Gnomes are caretakers, of gardens or woodlands or homes or mines, but not just of these things. There are places that need care more than others, but does the universe itself require care, attention and upkeep? If so, there may be gnomeish involvement. It's the stellar handymen theory.
