Is the universe my own? I mean the whole of it, because I am the observer. If I was not there to observe it, would it exist at all?
!Jon Snow! said:I guess It would exist, but not as a universe. It would not have any 'thing' in it at all, just undefined masses of undefined unknowable's.
phinds said:Why? Why would the univese care whether you are looking or not? Did the universe not exist before you were born? If it did not how did you GET here?
No, the universe is constantly existing and evolving regardless of whether we are observing it or not. Our perception and understanding of the universe may change based on observation, but the universe itself remains unchanged.
This question stems from the philosophical concept of subjective reality, which suggests that the world only exists as we perceive it. However, scientific evidence shows that the universe exists independently of our observation and continues to function and evolve even when we are not actively observing it.
Scientists use various methods and technologies such as telescopes, satellites, and other instruments to gather data and evidence about the universe. This data helps us understand the laws and principles that govern the universe and prove its existence, regardless of our observation.
While it is impossible for us to have a complete understanding of the universe, scientific research and evidence allow us to gain a better understanding of its existence and function. The universe may always hold some mysteries beyond our understanding, but we can continue to expand our knowledge and perception of it through scientific exploration.
This concept challenges our perception of reality and our place in the universe. It suggests that there is more to reality than what we can observe and comprehend, and that our understanding of the universe is limited by our human perception and consciousness. It also highlights the importance of scientific research and exploration in expanding our understanding of the universe.
