>objective vs. subjective
Is the universe really only objective or subjective? It seems to me that some things are objective, and some things are subjective. I don't view it as completely true to say the entire universe is either objective or subjective.
For example: things that involve human nature like personal preference or happiness tend to be subjective. There is no one best way to live, it is decided by each person for themselves.
Or things like science, physical existence, or falsifiable claims tend to be objective. The circumference of the Earth is 24,901 miles, any other answer (in miles) would be wrong. There is an objective answer to this falsifiable claim.
So again; is it logically correct to say that the universe is subjective OR objective? Or is it better to believe that the universe is subjectively objective and objectively subjective?

All we experience is subjective. So where did the idea for objectivity come from, and what makes us, as subjects, think we have access to it?

Like I said, human experience is usually subjective; but I didn't ask about that, I asked about the universe.
Things like hard science (ex physics) are objective, it is objectively true that for example the acceleration caused by gravity on earth is -9.81 m/s^2, that is true regardless of experiences and personal beliefs, which is objectivity

Why is it objective that the circumference of the Earth is 24,901 miles? They probably missed a few inches, and if they get that right, then you have quantum mechanics and its principles, that basically say that we cannot measure with 100% certainty.
Same for every other measurement.

Also, when the mass of the Earth changes, so will gravity and gravitational acceleration. The measure is not universal, it is not true in a sense. It is a fact, which can change, but it is not "truthful" - objective.

Nope the light of my screen is traveling at the speed of light, this is objectively true.

Universe is relative.

things can objectively happen. Humans perceptions of said things happening are by default subjective.
