This story was in an anthology in the 60's or 70's. It concluded that our universe is actually an experiment or incubator... Any thoughts which it was?

Unfortunately, there are a lot of stories that use this premise, c.f. scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/38648/… or bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/1MmQjXrkwp98jNdc17j3tr3/mice. We need more details to flesh this out. – FuzzyBoots Jul 2 '20 at 19:59
