(Expansion) I don’t think so! There is no objective universe. “There is no out there out there.” There is no such thing as matter. They don’t exist except in consciousness. Consciousness creates the solidity of matter by its perception. Consciousness collapses waveforms of itself into so called particles which give the appearance of form. Double Slit Experiment.
All so called matter is the pure energy of consciousness, perceived in a relatively low frequency form which appears as an image to the mind that created it. This seemingly happens in the brain, which is made of the same dream matter and also is a projection of consciousness. There is only “Consciousness” which has for some reason or no reason, projected a three dimensional universe on the screen of itself for individual aspects of pure consciousness to be creative until return to the source i.e. Pure Consciousness, Absolute Truth. This creates the sense of duality which is the mainstay of this whole illusion that we are separate. There is only one, which is not a thing, It is nothing and everything. All that is. Truth.
Scientists, if they want to approach Truth or Reality, (which are not synonymous) will eventually have to start with consciousness and realize it is not an end product of matter that doesn't even exist. Matter appears in consciousness not the other way around. Scientists have formed a belief system as fundamental as any religion called scientism which is looking in the wrong direction and negating their chances of realizing anything with regard to Truth.
Truth is the screen and reality is what appears on it.
There ya go! Problem solved. QED
