| Universe has independent existence. It does not depend on our mental constructions or perceptions. Rather, our outlook about the world is shaped by the mental state we are in at a particular moment. for example, if someone is depressed he/she sees it as a terrible world where everything is trying to tell or suggest that the life is terrible. On the otherhand, a person in a joyful state starts singing songs and writes good poetry too. The anwser for this question goes to the very source of creation. Mind is a principle of division. Without that principle, creation would not have been possible as we see it today. Without mind as a principle in the creation, it would have been entirely different creation. In short, it would not have been possible for all of us to feel as separate beings apparently(in truth if we are separate all of advaita vedanta would be wrong; but that is not the case and no problem with vedanta) without this principle. You should recognise the limitation of physics in understanding metaphysical phenomena. Rather what you should take from physics is their method of probing nature and getting facts for yourself, like the way 19th and 20th century scientists did and demoslished all myths, created by religious people, about physical world. In metaphysics, mind is the best instrument to understand the metaphysical phenomena. Many doctors and psychologists have already accepted that mind has independent existence unlike their predecessors. That is a first and most important step for the simple reason that one never probes something which one never recognises that it exists. Just like 19th and 20th centuries have been a golden time for physical scientists, 21st century will be the century of psychology, I mean we will be discovering laws of Mind and Life.
By the way I am a materials scientist.

Is it neccessary to interpret science and philosphy? NASA made one 3D film about space station. The sceintists doing research are they different?
One of such question : Research about earth from space station is separting a baby from mom.
