The universe between the subjectivity of cognitive formation and its independence

Abstract

The research problem includes the question of whether the self-shapes the universe through its knowledge, or if the universe exists independently of it. This is done by presenting the relationship between the self and the subject, between the idealism of Copenhagen and the realism of Einstein. A critical analytical approach was used in this study. The research was divided into three sections. The first section addressed the relationship between the self and the subject from a scientific perspective, presenting the vision of the Copenhagen school, led by Niels Bohr, and the vision of scientific realism, led by Albert Einstein. The second section explained how knowledge becomes a source of self-formation for the universe, stating that we are not the sole perceivers in this universe. The third section discussed the independence of the universe from the self and the miracle of understanding the universe. The most significant results of the research were that the self, through its perception, shapes a universe that it cannot fully comprehend, and that the universe is independent of the self in two aspects: firstly, in terms of its existence in itself, and secondly, in terms of the existence of other universes formed by entities other than the human self. These results provide a reconciliation between the Copenhagen school and the school of realism.
