Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) May 30, 2026 Peer reviewed DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20466184 via OpenAlex
Summary
The article discusses the paradox in modern science that overlooks the subjectivity of the Universe, despite insights from quantum physics and consciousness philosophy. It critiques the scientific community's dismissal of the Living Universe hypothesis by John Wheeler and advocates for a perspective that sees reality as co-created by observers and the observed. Emphasizing the integration of scientific, philosophical, and spiritual knowledge may lead to breakthroughs in ethics, ecology, medicine, and consciousness dialogue.

Abstract
The article reveals the paradox of the modern scientific approach, which denies the subjectivity of the Universe despite the achievements of quantum physics and the philosophy of consciousness. The author analyzes the reasons why science continues to ignore the hypothesis of a Living Universe, as formulated in the works of John Wheeler, and proposes viewing reality as a co-creative process between the observer and the observed. The article emphasizes the need to integrate scientific, philosophical, and spiritual knowledge in order to form a new, holistic worldview. By recognizing the Universe as a subject, humanity gains the opportunity for an ethical, cosmic, and personal breakthrough. This knowledge has the potential to give rise to a new medicine, ecology, science, and a dialogue between planetary levels of consciousness. __________________________ В статье раскрывается парадокс современного научного подхода, отрицающего субъектность Вселенной, несмотря на достижения квантовой физики и философии сознания. Автор анализирует причины, по которым наука продолжает игнорировать гипотезу о Живой Вселенной, сформулированную в работах Джона Уилера, и предлагает рассматривать реальность как процесс сотворчества наблюдателя и наблюдаемого. Подчеркивается необходимость интеграции научного, философского и духовного знания для формирования новой, целостной картины Мира. Признавая Вселенную субъектом, человечество получает шанс на этический, космический и личностный прорыв. Это знание способно породить новую медицину, экологию, науку и диалог между планетарными уровнями сознания. Author portal: https://sites.google.com/view/yermakov-orcid
