Gaia hypothesis (Evolution 🧬)

The Gaia hypothesis, also known as the Gaia theory, Gaia paradigm, or the Gaia principle, proposes that living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a synergistic and self-regulating complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet. The Gaia hypothesis was formulated by the chem...

@Huntn00 @cwicseolfor I don't believe any such plan would ever be agreed. We aren't sensible creatures, like the ten-spined sticklebacks, that all become #gay when their #food #supply is too low to #support their #population, & only become #straight again when it can feed them all, so it will be #Gaia that will impose her #solution on us. We WON'T like it!

Build powerful pipelines in any programming language. Gaia is the next evolution of automation platforms whose goal is to provide full flexibility and performance for today's CI/CD, but basically any automation workflow imaginable.

It's not difficult to extrapolate from an understanding of #homeostasis as noted in individuals to population and ecological community levels. Alas, #fossilfuel companies encouraged #Lovelock and #Margulis in their #Gaia research, as it was surmised their findings would lull the general public to believe the earth would self-regulate regardless of levels of pollution. It probably did help with the propaganda.

To maintain homeostasis, however, always requires an #EROEI. We have dysregulated the ecological homeostasis. When it costs as much to sell and ship an item as we can make from doing so, we will stop doing so. Ships, aircraft, trains, barges and trucks are vulnerable to this. WE are vulnerable to this. >>

Anoche en #NOCTURNAL en #ElFaro de la Ser, con Laura Piñero estuve hablando de la inmensidad de la noche. ¿Cuántas estrellas hay en el cielo? ¿Cuántas en la Vía Láctea? Nos acompañaron grandes científicas, como Caroline Herschel y Francesca Figueras. Y el telescopio #GAIA de la @esa

A #utopian #fantasy, delivered by Ivory Tower left-wing #academics, like Thomas #Piketty, who don't realise there is no saving our so-called #civilisation from the #revenge of #Gaia, or the remorseless #logic of #social #entropy. They will still be saying all can saved, even as the grand edifice of #global #technological #capitalism crashes down around their ears - but see: https://globaljusticeproject.wid.world/.

Weekly Update from the Open Journal of Astrophysics – 18/10/2025

It’s time once again for the usual Saturday update of the week’s new papers at the Open Journal of Astrophysics. Since the last update we have published six  more papers, which brings the number in Volume 8 (2025) up to 156, and the total so far published by OJAp up to 391.

I’d like to encourage people to follow our feed on the Fediverse via Mastodon (where I announce papers as they are published, including the all-important DOI) so this week I’ll include links to each announcement there.

The first paper to report is “Shot noise in clustering power spectra” by Nicolas Tessore (University College London, UK) and Alex Hall (University of Edinburgh, UK). This was published in the folder Cosmology and NonGalactic Astrophysics on Tuesday October 14th 2025. This presents a discussion of the effects of ‘shot noise’, an additive contribution due to degenerate pairs of points, in angular galaxy clustering power spectra. Here is a screen grab of the overlay:

You can find the officially accepted version of the paper here. The Mastodon announcement is here:

Next one up is “The Giant Arc – Filament or Figment?” by Till Sawala and Meri Teeriaho (University of Helsinki, Finland). This paper discusses the abundance of large arc-like structures formed in the standard cosmological model, with reference to the “Giant Arc” identified in MgII absorption systems. It was published on Wednesday October 15th in the folder Cosmology and NonGalactic Astrophysics. The overlay is here:

The third paper this week,  published on Monday 6th October, is “Detecting wide binaries using machine learning algorithms” by Amoy Ashesh, Harsimran Kaur and Sandeep Aashish (Indian Institute of Technology, Patna, India). This was published on Friday 17th October (yesterday) in the folder Astrophysics of Galaxies. It presents a method for detecting wide binary systems in Gaia data using machine learning algorithms.

The last one this week is “Learned harmonic mean estimation of the Bayesian evidence with normalizing flows” by Alicja Polanska & Matthew A. Price (University College London, UK), Davide Piras (Université de Genève, CH), Alessio Spurio Mancini (Royal Holloway, London, UK) and Jason D. McEwen (University College London). This one was also published on Friday 17th October, but in the folder Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics; it presents a new method for estimating Bayesian evidence for use in model comparison, illustrated with a cosmological example.

That concludes the papers for this week. With two weeks to go I think we might reach the 400 total by the end of October.
