“The real Universe arched sickeningly away beneath them. Various pretend ones flitted silently by, like mountain goats. Primal light exploded, splattering space-time as with gobbets of Jell-O. Time blossomed, matter shrank away. The highest prime number coalesced quietly in a corner and hid itself away forever.”

—The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Okay, it’s not the highest prime number period, just the highest one yet. Still pretty cool.
