Outline
This paper is about the quest for Gaia is an attempt to find the largest living creature on Earth. It may reveal no more than the almost infinite variety of living forms which have proliferated over the Earth's surface under the transparent case of the air and which constitute the biosphere. But if Gaia does exist, then we may find ourselves and all other living things to be parts and partners of a vast being who in her entirety has the power to maintain our planet as a fit and comfortable habitat for life. We will also discuss Daisywheel model impact. Basically, Lovelock and Watson recognized the challenge of demonstrating how natural selection might operate to guide the coevolution of organisms and environment. Their ingenious model, Daisywheel model, explores evolution by natural selection among two types of daisies: white daisies, which are cooler than the local environment, and black ones, which warm it. The local warming enhances growth and reproduction, favoring the spread of black daisies. Eventually, the black daisies take over, maintaining temperature at stable levels (Joseph H. Hertz , 1963).
History
The quest for Gaia began more than fifteen years ago, when NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the USA) first made plans to look for life on Mars.
Jim Lovelock is scientist, inventor, and author. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974 and in 1990 he was awarded the first Amsterdam Prize for the Environment by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. One of his inventions is the electron capture detector, which was important in the development of environmental awareness. It revealed for the first time the ubiquitous distribution of pesticide residues. He co-operated with NASA and some of his inventions were adopted in their programme of planetary.........
