“On the most usual assumption, the universe is homogeneous on the large scale, i.e. down to regions containing each an appreciable number of nebulae. The homogeneity assumption may then be put in the form: An observer situated in a nebula and moving with the nebula will observe the same properties of the universe as any other similarly situated observer at any time.” MayMovingFormScienceUniverseNumbersPropertyScalesObservationAssumptionRegionsUsualObserversContainingLarge ScaleHomogeneousHomogeneityNebula Author:Hermann Bondi
“'Participant' is the incontrovertible new concept given by quantum mechanics. It strikes down the 'observer' of classical theory, the man who stands safely behind the thick glass wall and watches what goes on without taking part. It can't be done, quantum mechanics says it...May the universe in some sense be 'brought into being' by the participation of those who participate?” MenMayDoneUniverseGivenBehindsWatchesHe ManTheoryWallGoes OnConceptsUnityGlassesStrikesThickQuantumParticipationMechanicObserversParticipantsQuantum Mechanics Author:John Archibald Wheeler
“Some authors state that the last stage in this chain of measurements involves "consciousness," or the "intellectual inner life" of the observer, by virtue of the "principle of psycho-physical parallelism." Other authors introduce a wave function for the entire universe. In this book, I shall refrain from using concepts that I do not understand.” BookStatesLastsUniverseConsciousnessPrinciplesVirtueStageIntellectualConceptsFunctionWaveChainsIntroducingObserversMeasurementInner LifeRefrainPsychoParallelism Author:Asher Peres
“There is no absolute up or down, as Aristotle taught; no absolute position in space; but the position of a body is relative to that of other bodies. Everywhere there is incessant relative change in position throughout the universe, and the observer is always at the center of things.” BodyUniverseSpaceAtheismPositionTaughtAbsolutesPositive AtheismRelativeObserversIncessant Author:Giordano Bruno
“One who is mostly an observer thrives in good times but suffers in bad times because what he is observing is already vibrating, and as he observes it, he includes it in his vibrational countenance. As he includes it, the Universe accepts that as his point of attraction and gives him more of it. So the better it gets the better it gets. Or the worse it gets the worse it gets. While one who is a visionary thrives in all times.” GivingSufferingUniverseAcceptingAttractionAll TimeLaw Of AttractionManifestationPositive AttitudeThriveGood TimesSpiritual WisdomObserversObservingVisionariesUps & DownsBad TimesCountenancePower Of Positive ThinkingGood Times And Bad Times Author:Esther Hicks
“Doesn't the theory of relativity concern literature too?

“The universe does not exist 'out there,' independent of us. We are inescapably involved in bringing about that which appears to be happening. We are not only observers. We are participators. In some strange sense, this is a participatory universe. Physics is no longer satisfied with insights only into particles, fields of force, into geometry, or even into time and space. Today we demand of physics some understanding of existence itself.” DoeTodayScienceUniverseForceUnderstandingSpaceExistenceFieldsStrangeInvolvedDemandHappeningsIndependentInsightPhysicsSatisfiedObservationTime And SpaceObserversParticlesGeometry Author:John P.
