Objectivity vs. subjectivity: can objectivity create order or a different future? Continued...

Next thing that comes to my mind when considering the objectivity versus subjectivity is what really is objective. Therefore I will take my time and try to explain it.

There are certain occurrence in the universe that are objective. Take for example a star, or in particular our sun. The universe is full of such stars. Therefore the existence of stars is a universally objective fact. Every observer, regardless of its state and its knowledge can observe this phenomenon. Moreover, every sun radiates electromagnetic energy and many different particles as well as produces magnetic and gravity fields. Everyone can see that with their own eyes looking at the sun.

We also have gravity here on earth. Everyone experiences it daily. We also have rain, day and night, changing seasons. Also, every physical being living in the universe is born, lives longer or shorter, and then dies, and this is a universal occurrence.

All of the above mentioned examples are objective occurrens and they exist independently of the observer, to greater or lesser degree. Of course these objective phenomena may be understood differently by different observers and sometimes they may not even be perceptable to some observers, nonetheless they exist.

There exists also a universally objective language. This is mathematics. Mathematical rules and equations are universally and objectively the same to everybody. An equation produces the same result each time you solve it and regardless who solves it. The same equations apply to the electromagnetic field here on earth as they would literally apply anywhere else in our universe because they are objectively reflecting reality.

In my next post I will give examples of subjective occurrences, so stay tuned...
