In the desolate landscape of Antarctica's Dry Valleys, it is nearly impossible to imagine life could exist, much less thrive. Mar 27, 2013 - Not only are isotopes raining down all the time, but there is a lot that we can learn about our planet by analyzing these amazing by-products of cosmic ray collisions. In the 30 years or so since it was first proposed, the Gaia Hypothesis has intrigued a whole generation of those interested in natural history and planet Earth. Professor Tyrrell adds: "Stephen Cosmic explosion spotted in neighbouring galaxy. Yet buried beneath the Many believe something like this happened 570 million years ago, when our planet may have been completely covered in ice — Snowball Earth, it's called. Geologists, astronomers, biologists, chemists, evolutionists, biochemists, microbiologists, atmospheric scientists, and environmental scientists, to name a few, interact to understand a very complex scientific question: How did life start in the first place? How depraved despots and others have misused and abused ideas like “survival of the fittest” has absolutely no bearing on whether or not evolution is the best explanation for the unity and diversity of life on planet Earth. It stable and comfortable for life. Click here for an overview of the . Since the planet that we evolved on is likely to be the most suitable environment we could find, any challenges we face on Earth (resource management, environmental collapse, conflict, and over-population) are likely to be significantly more challenging on an alien planet. Oct 4, 2013 - It is only in our time that we are coming to realize that the geology of the Earth and the life of our planet must be understood in a cosmological context. 4 days ago - Referencing metaphysical research and information theory, Earth Changes and the Human Cosmic Connection (Book 3 in The Secret History of the World series) is a ground-breaking attempt to re-connect modern science with ancient understanding that the human mind and states of . Feb 1, 2014 - Because abiogenesis is concerned with how life started; evolution is concerned with what life did once it was already here i.e., what happened to that first cell, not how it got here. Jun 3, 2013 - This unique landscape attracts researchers from around the world to study microbe evolution, scars of geological disasters and even how glaciers behaved on Mars. May 21, 2014 - It is a science made of several sciences because it requires the interaction of several disciplines to understand what happened to the Earth to become what it is and how life appeared and evolved. Cosmic rays are incredible things. Higher resolution proxy studies from many parts of the planet suggest that the end interglacials may be quite the wild climate ride from the perspective of global climate disruption. In the book, Professor Tyrrell finds that a competing hypothesis, co-evolution of life and environment, is compatible with our modern understanding in a way that Gaia is not.
