Abstract

Human consciousness is a theoretical expanding universe within one which is likewise expanding from an astronomical point of view. Uncertainty about the line separating the cosmological and the human universes, makes the latter richer as it learns more about the former. By means of three topics – the difficult path towards scientific truth, the sense of time and the identification of life – I will propose an ultra-deterministic time dimension, and a way for understanding life, which are two assertions that introduce a paradigm in cosmology. Perceiving, conceiving and acting are neither prior nor posterior to time, they are inherent to time. Moreover, life at cosmological scale is presumably not the same as that imagined by Homo sapiens. It is to obtain access to reality that science, be it sometimes trapped by preconceptions, tries to discover more and to improve knowledge by erasing prejudices and errors.
