There is to the universe what there is to the universe.  As far as
people are concerned, Alexander Solzenytsyn said that "each person is A
center of the universe."  So the universe is itself, but each person
has his (or her) own subjective universe.  This is in how that
particular person actually percieves the universe; that is, the actual
absolute universe that actually exists with or without anybody imposing
their subjective views on it.  It is true that science cannot percieve
your subjective experience, but that experience may *involves* the
absolute universe, it doesn't *change* it.
