“Without introducing an observer, we have a dead universe, which does not evolve in time, and this re-emphasizes the role of the participant in the self-observing universe of quantum cosmology. The universe becomes alive (time-dependent) only when one divides it into two parts: a subjective observer and the rest of the objective universe, and the wave function of the rest of the objective universe depends on the time measured by the observer. 
​
In other words, the evolution of the universe and everything in it, including life itself, is possible only with respect to the observer.”
