It's What You Think It Is

How much do we influence what we see and experience, and how much does that influence our theories? Dr. Robert Lanza, who has done pioneering work in cloning and stem cell research, believes that we cannot come up with a "theory of everything" without taking human consciousness into account. In this, he is in accord with other thinkers, including University of Oxford mathematician and physicist Sir Roger Penrose. Lanza cites the famous double-slit experiment in which a particle behaves either like a single solid or a wave depending on whether it's being observed, and concludes, “Not a single particle out there exists with properties until it is observed.” Taking the concept further (and into the realm of the surreal), he posits that one explanation for our existence could be that it is we who create the parameters that make our life on Earth possible (story, video): http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/1647773-prominent-scientist-says-consciousness-is-key-to-a-theory-of-everything/
