The earth is alive, do you have such an idea?A crazy scientist thinks so too

The earth is a living life body. The rocks, trees, animal plants, and everything else are the "organ" and "cells" of this life body. Have you ever had such an idea?
It is not only you who have this idea. It is also known as "the fourth crazy scientist in the world". James Lovlock was born on July 26, 1919. He has more than 40 patents and writes more than 200 scientific papers in his life. He even won the Nobel Prize. He does not belong to any research institution, nor does he teach at any university. He is a true independent scientist. He has countless "rebellious" arguments in his life. Countless outstanding science fiction works are based on his thoughts. For the future of the earth, he has made a lot of pessimistic predictions, and even denied "sustainable development".
Now we all know that Freon in the atmosphere will destroy the ozone layer, and we all know the two names of Lorride and Molinna, because they have won the Nobel Prize in 1995 through this discovery.
But who found the leaky Freon in the atmosphere? It is Lovlock. In the 1950s, Lovlock invented an electronic capture detector to detect the toxic artificial compounds in the environment. Based on this device, Lovlok unexpectedly found that the atmosphere was full of the leaky Freon, but unfortunately It was Lovlock didn't think much. He believed that Freon was harmless, and the Nobel Prize in the Nobel Prize in which he had had the opportunity to get. But this does not have much influence on Lovlock, because he is a free independent scientist.
The freedom of Lovlock lies not only in his identity, but also his spiritual world. He believes that scientific research should be carried out on an independent line. For research institutions or enterprises, it means that only on the defined route. Moving forward, this will make behaviors and even ideas.
The identity of the independent scientist and the unrestrained thoughts made Lovlock have a lot of "crazy" ideas, the most famous of which was the "Gaia hypothesis". "Gaia" is a god and legend. The so -called Gaia hypothesis is that the earth is a living organic body. This organism can be adjusted as other life forms. This kind of thoughtful idea can naturally cause a question from the mouth of a scientist, so Lovlock decided to verify his thoughts.
Lovlock used a computer to simulate a world. This world is called "Daisy World" because this simulation world was originally composed of two daisy.
There are two kinds of black and white daisies in Lovlock's simulation world. The former absorbs the sun and the latter reflects the sun. It is found that no matter how the intensity of the sun changes, the world can self -regulate the balance. After that, he is in, and he is in again. More elements are added, including various animals and complex ecosystems. As a result, the world not only did not collapse, but was more stable. In the end, Lovlock came to a conclusion that without considering human beings, the earth was an organic body that was fully capable of maintaining its own life.
Although the "Gaia hypothesis" is just a hypothesis, it is regarded by many people as faith. There are also some extreme environmentalists who worshiped them and did a lot of extreme behaviors based on this, but all of them have nothing to do with Lovlock.
Based on the Gaia hypothesis, Lovlock has some pessimistic conclusions, that is, human beings' ability to destroy the environment completely exceeds the ability of the earth, so the organic body of the earth is trying to destroy humans. In 2008, Lovlock made a prediction that 80%of humans would die due to the deterioration of the environment in 2100. In 2009, he put forward a point of view. For more than 6 billion people on the earth, "sustainable development" is just "sustainable development" is just "sustainable development" is just "sustainable development" is just "sustainable development". One fantasy, human beings should think more about how to "sustainable backward". In 2020, Lovlock once again said amazing, he predicts that there is only the last 1%left in the life of the earth's biological circle and his life span.
This series of pessimistic and almost crazy predictions made Lovlok be rated as "the fourth crazy scientist in the world" by American Life Sciences. pull.
On July 26, 2022, the 103 -year -old Lovlot died of his birthday, and his scientific contributions and various wonderful imaginations made it and will continue to affect human beings. In my opinion, the greatest part of Lovlock is his spirit of being courageous and independent. He puts all his spiritual power into his research and never cares and please others. The Asian hypothesis "" and therefore won the sought after environmental protectionists from the world. At the same time, he did not conceal his support for vigorously developing nuclear energy. Even if it attracted the abuse of environmentalists, he never cared. Do yourself and do your own thing, everything else has to do with me.
