only if you believe in it and for short period of time, for after time it becomes subjective again...as past does ..well, it might be resurrected from a past and become objective again but in different forms or pictures. I suspect it is that what we consistently do, and then wondering, why history repeat itself. Actually , to make subjectivity objective, would be our purpose of being on Earth...The purpose which includes an understanding that we are creators...not a re-creators

As soon as you observe something, you change it. So no.
The way we humans think, we always approach with a perspective or a point of view. We think based on what we have experienced before. We think based on what we are focused at.
The key is just to be aware of what our biases are, and to constantly examine ourselves and to always try to see things from the perspective of another to get the complete picture.
Edit: Somebody said that its possible to be objective if you were indifferent. Question, what is your purpose for being indifferent? Whatever your answer will be, that is your point of view. A judge who upholds the cold neutrality of the law does so because he has a notion of what justice is. I am not saying that his notion is wrong, but just that to become closer to the truth, one must always be self-aware of how he thinks.

It's easiest when looking at someone else's life or issue.
Usually it takes time to look back on a specific event in our own lives with true objectivity.

Objectivity is possible if one is indifferent.

100% true objectivity? I don't think so. I think that all results are coloured with our personal beliefs and experiences.

It depends on the subject.
In Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, etc., yes! Most of the time.
Dealing with EMOTIONS? Never!!!!
That is the fun of it.

Only if we are resolute enough to 'switch' off the intuitional aspect totally, and be just logical.
