Abstract:
This paper proposes a groundbreaking paradigm: the universe is a reflection of consciousness. Nearly a century ago, quantum mechanics introduced the concept of the observer to explain experimental anomalies. This led many prominent physicists to argue that consciousness is fundamental and precedes matter. While this idea was subse quently marginalized within physics, I contend that consciousness is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the universe. To support this notion, this paper presents extensive evidence for consciousness from physical processes and as tronomical objects. In addition, the Astro-Sociology model, which I introduced in 2010, posits that the universe reflects consciousness. This paper revisits and expands upon the remarkable structural and numerical parallels between astronomical phenomena and human behavior. It subsequently outlines six predictions of the model that have been empirically or theoretically confirmed. Finally, it briefly discusses ongoing research, including a novel quantum gravity model, that incorporates the observer to explain dark matter and dark energy without requiring additional particles.
