University of Rochester astrophysicist, Adam Frank, discusses four stages of Earth\u2019s past and possible future to illustrate how planetary intelligence could play a role in humanity\u2019s long-term future.<\/h2>\n
The collective activity of life\u2014all the microbes, plants, and animals\u2014have slowly changed planet Earth. If the collective activity of life\u2014known as the biosphere\u2014can change the world, could the collective activity of cognition, and action based on this cognition, also change a planet? Once the biosphere evolved, Earth took on a life of its own and its planetary intelligence started to evolve. If a planet with life has a life of its own, can it also have a mind of its own?<\/p>\n
