www.bbc.co.uk More about this episode: www.bbc.co.uk Great minds don’t think alike. In fact, offbeat thinking has led to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our age. In the second of a three-part series uncovering the minds behind some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our age, James Lovelock explains how his maverick way of thinking led him not only to technical breakthroughs in atmospheric detection systems on Earth and Mars, but also to Gaia Theory – a new way of thinking about the Earth as a holistic, self-regulating system. He tells of his struggle against the scientific consensus of the day, the ridicule of his peers and his passionate belief that the mainstream scientific establishment stifles intellectual creativity.

1. Why are scientific models important?

* They prove scientific theories.
* They help visualize things that are very complex, very large, or very small.
* They make it harder to understand things.
* They never change.

2. What happens when the data in an investigation do not support the original hypothesis?

* The scientist gives up and starts an investigation on a new topic.
* The data must be incorrect and are thrown out.
* The hypothesis will be revised.
* The data are altered so that they support the original hypothesis.

3. How are science and technology related?

* Technology is a branch of natural science.
* Science is a branch of technology.

i see it all the time "i don’t BELIEVE in evolution" but science isn’t a belief system or a religion…it doesn’t need faith(belief without evidence or proof) but science offers up proof (testable verifiable proof)…whenever people try to push creationism in the classrooms it isnt because there is more evidence that is better proven, it is because they dont BELIEVE in evolution and want "equal time for both theories" but the truth is, evolution is a theory creationism is a hypothesis(theories have been tested and retested and if the results added up then it is accepted after years of testing, hypothesizes are just guesses, usually educated guesses. Creationism is just a guess no evidence behind it, no peer review done and before someone cries conspiracy the offer stands, go have your hypothisis peer reviewed… see how well it stands up ) so why try to bring science down to the level of an outdated unchanging religion that cant keep up with the times…

My thoughts on our emerging global culture. Inspired by: Mythologist Joseph Campbell. In “The Power of Myth,” and many other works and talks, he expressed our need for New Myths for the 21st Century. He suggested the iconic photo of Earth in space, “The Blue Marble,” taken by Apollo 17 in 1972. Another iconic photo — and the first view of Earth rising over the Moon — was taken by Apollo 8, in 1968. This was the first image ever taken by humans of the whole Earth. And the book: “Reality Isn’t What It Used To Be: Theatrical Politics, Ready-To-Wear Religion, Global Myths, Primitive Chic, and Other Wonders of the Postmodern World.” By Walter Truett Anderson He shows how our postmodern world presents the friction of belief systems — which define the primary philosophical divisions of our time. Published in 1990 by Harper SanFrancisco. And the classic book: “Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man” By Marshall McLuhan He elucidates how our technology alters our senses. He originated the expressions, “The Medium is the Message” and “The Global Village.” And also: “Promethea,” by Alan Moore. Presents the Apocalypse as a Revelation of our divine nature. The comic book series is available as graphic novels. MUSIC by: Band: Love and Rockets Album: “Lift” Song: “Lift – Malibu Mix” Slightly edited. (p and copyright 1998, Red Ant, LLC.)

press.princeton.edu Will we extend life into space before a catastrophe stops us permanently? Those going into space will be impelled by an exploratory urge. But their choices will have epochal consequences. Once the threshold is crossed when there is a self-sustaining level of life in space, then lifes long-range future will be secure irrespective of any of the risks on Earth (with the single exception of the catastrophic destruction of space itself). Will this happen before our technical civilisation disintegrates, leaving this as a might-have-been? Will the self-sustaining space communities be established before a catastrophe sets back the prospect of any such enterprise, perhaps foreclosing it for ever? We live at what could be a defining moment for the cosmos, not just for our Earth. The colonization of space is an evolutionary step similar to the colonization of land This would be as epochal an evolutionary transition as that which led to land-based life on Earth. But it could still be just the beginning of cosmic evolution. The enormous potential of future life is dependent on our actions today The first aquatic creatures crawled onto dry land in the Silurian era, more than three hundred million years ago. They may have been unprepossessing brutes, but had they been clobbered, the evolution of land-based fauna would have been jeopardised. Likewise, the post-human potential is so immense that not even the most misanthropic amongst us would countenance its being …
