¿La Tierra es un ser vivo? Gaia - Especial Día de la Tierra CuriosaMente

The video explores the Gaia hypothesis, which views Earth as a self-regulating organism. Initially dismissed by mainstream science, the idea gained traction through the work of James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis. They proposed that life on Earth regulates the atmosphere, maintaining conditions suitable for life. The Gaia system is explained through feedback loops, such as the carbon cycle. Despite its acceptance, the hypothesis remains controversial, with concerns about its implications for environmental responsibility.
