- W56090008 abstract "Timothy M. Lenton and Hywel T. P. WilliamsWe present in this chapter a search for Gaia in computer-generated model worlds. The computer may seem like an odd place to be looking for a planetary-sized phenomenon when we could be examining the real world. However, with a sample size of only one Earth the inferences that can be drawn about the likelihood of certain features are necessarily limited. In particular, our existence as observers who can look back on and marvel at Earth history is only consistent with a history in which atmospheric oxygen built up to the levels necessary to support animals with large brains (Watson 2004) and the climate became (or remained) relatively cool (Schwartzman 1999). One can imagine myriad other scenarios for Earth-like planets in which life never reaches the stage of conscious observers, but by defi nition no observer is there to see such histories. In the next few decades we may be fortunate to learn about the atmospheric composition of planets orbiting other stars, and from that information we may learn something about the presence or absence of life on them (Lovelock 1965). This could increase the sample size of inhabited planets above one. In the meantime, by creating many virtual worlds in the computer, we can begin to examine whether features we see on Earth, such as abundant recycling and environmental regulation, are likely or unlikely phenomena once life has emerged on a planet." @default.
