Breaking news. Chemist, inventor and scientist James Lovelock, who inspired our Body Issue has died on his 103rd birthday. His revolutionary Gaia Theory, postulates that the Earth acts as a self-regulating super-organism. We were lucky to enough to reach him by email this past spring. In our interview, he talks about the origins of his groundbreaking theory, his scientific instruments that he used to detect pollutants in the atmosphere, and a new cyborgian future he calls the Novacene. Two years ago, Lovelock said that earth’s biosphere is in the last 1% of its lifespan. Lovelock was one of the greatest scientists and thinkers of the past 100+ years. #jameslovelock #gaia #environment #earth
