Summary

So far, modern science proposes to be limited to the concept of «material» information, which is the memorized information accumulated by mankind during its centuries-long activity and recorded on solid (material) carriers (brain, books, devices, computers), which exist only within the framework of life activity of this mankind.

However there is a hypothesis (not proved yet) that there exists (independent from mankind) a global cosmic storage ("information container") of non-material initial information, which is inseparably connected with birth and evolution of our Universe. Moreover, this cosmic information initially possesses «consciousness» determining the developmental purpose of both mankind and the Universe itself.

Here we have also assumed that the material point of physics is its basic concept, determines the materiality of our physical World and serves as the basis of materialistic philosophy. At the same time, the material point of biology ("information content of the genome") is its basic non-material concept, defines the essence of living matter and can serve as the basis of idealistic philosophy.

This paper shows that both these substances: material and immaterial (imaginary) are a single state (as two sides of the same coin) of the original cosmic vacuum that gave life to our Universe in its two hypostases — material and imaginary ("spiritual"). Physics and biology are seen as antipodean and complementary to one another and, as a consequence, the same applies to materialism and idealism.

Inhabited (living) worlds arose, arise and will still arise in our physical Universe as momentary events at different times of its evolution. In a short moment of living worlds existence, each of them "gives birth" and «throws» a certain amount of dense, «thinking» invisible matter into outer space. In the future, the global Universe will consist of many "living universes" (now it is 23 % "alive"). Unfortunately (?), with time man will disappear. In the future the physical Universe will begin, according to the ideas of modern physics, to decay physical fields and particles, and a new stage of the Universe evolution will come — the stage of evolution of «living» invisible matter.

A number of difficult questions arise here. On the one hand, how to know who «produces» more «qualitative» invisible matter: outstanding scientists, writers, artists, or "ordinary man"?; atheist or believer?; villain or righteous person?; does not only man «produce» invisible matter, but also any living organism (including plants)?; is cosmic consciousness just one of the field forms with antipodean orientation in relation to physical field, or is it really something spiritual in the religious sense?; etc.

On the other hand, it should be remembered that besides cosmic consciousness there is consciousness of a unique human brain capable of penetrating into the mysteries of the universe. Here also arises a number of difficult questions: is the interaction of cosmic consciousness with human brain consciousness possible?; is the technogenic way of human development predetermined?; if "yes," is the symbiosis of the «spiritual» beginning of invisible matter with the inevitable robotization of humans possible?; etc. Therefore, the task of studying human consciousness is as urgent as the task of studying consciousness in the Universe. Moreover, we believe that cosmology and biology should become a unified science of our World, while physics and mathematics are convenient tools for our world understanding.
