Every single object in the universe. Just by the fact that something exists, it is automatically part of reality (the set of all existences) and therefore part of each of the existences in reality, including non-existence. Just as some say you could wake up being a monkey, or go to the kitchen and find it's upside down, well it is the same: the kitchen might not be there at all, and the monkey also. You may not be there again. So every object that exists is an object in non-existence. This is the great idea, it doens't make sense but is true, and those kind of ideas are the best in science and philosophy.
