  • @wolfgang0070 hell he isnt! does he really strike u as a sad person? not at all! hes 90 years of age now, a passionate, independent scientist and enjoys walking 5 miles a day with his wife. this is what life can be about, real pleasure, intellectual challenge rather than plain consumption of goods of any kind.

  • It's always a pleasure to hear James Lovelock - he always talks sense. Thanks for posting.

  • This is propaganda based on non existent scientific data.

  • @wolfgang0070 He certainly doesn't appear to be "depressed" neither plainly nor simply, although like all great inventors I would be surprised if he wasn't a little bit of a nutter :)

  • @wolfgang0070 He is regarded as being "independent" because he doesn't work for a university or corporation. He works on the projects he cares about, and he is a fantastic scientist. What rationality are u talking about? Science isn't dependent solely on collaboration simply because good science doesn't depend on any single factor other than that the scientific method is observed.

  • It's funny how he refers to JPL as something that is barely known. I run around it everyday; my school is right next to it! I realize that this wasn't a point of his lecture, but it's amazing to be a part of something that helped him reach brilliance!

  • this is great stuff - thanks for posting
