is there any way to bring about enough empirical evidence to state that we live in an objective universe as opposed to a subjective universe?

negative meaning against it. something that would falsify the claim.

Unfortunately, its impossible to prove a negative, no matter what subject you're talking about. We can only observe the world around us and theorize or explain how things happen or why things are the way they are. The cold scrutiny of science is the only Objective Reality that we have, ie, its put up to repeated testing, corroboration by others, and is recordable. And the only way to do that is to use our five senses. Beyond that, we're just in the realm of wishful thinking. Epistomology, or studying the reasons for our belief system based on empirical evidence is an intrigueing subject. Seeing how our knowledge of the universe can be validated.

I think saying that the human recognize nothing except him/herself, is a negative point...
