4. So where does one stand outside the universe to observe the changeable universe in which one lives?

I love science and models and knowledge and attempting to understand that which stands under (explains) the observer and the observed.

I have long been fascinated by the 'consciousness' that "knows" and without which, nothing can be known.

There seems to be an intractable problem wherein the conscious observer is an irremovable reality within the universe being studied but tries to stand outside of it.
