Nice visualisation of Daisy World. But why is the Gaia hypothesis not mentioned? From Wikipedia: "The Gaia hypothesis /ˈɡaɪ.ə/, also known as the Gaia theory 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." "Daisyworld, a computer simulation, is a hypothetical world orbiting a star whose radiant energy is slowly increasing or decreasing. It is meant to mimic important elements of the Earth-Sun system, and was introduced by James Lovelock and Andrew Watson in a paper published in 1983[1] to illustrate the plausibility of the Gaia hypothesis."

A very simple way of showing the "Daisy effect", I

conclusion: we should all wear white flower clothes.

HAHAHHAHAHAH YAH SAME THOUGHTS HAHAHA

[@Webster020]

This is great! Made it much easier to understand for my upcoming test!

[@akarshseggemu]

Nice explanation to albedo

[@qinomariell8223]

Is this why genshin impacts Albedos burst is a daisy like flower

[@rolandoguerrero2865]

Albedo es un concepto que debe investigarse y aplicarse en la crisis planetaria, las soluciones reales para los problemas a todo nivel son los que lindan con la simplicidad

[@prayfortruejustice]

After reading a few of the comments posted here, I must implore -- no, BEG -- NASA to disable comments to their videos.

[@eustachio79]

yes i remeber this on the old sim earth, i never undestand was it... now afther 20 years i undestand thankyou

[@sebek23b]

so clouds doesn't count to albedo ? only polar caps

[@masterdelrap]

@Joselo1693 no that would create a greenhouse with too many clouds then we would die

[@skadogg22]

I'm guessing Daisyworld has an average albedo of 50%?

[@Dracopol]

1:40 You said "black and forth" lol

[@colinmcmahon5829]

Doug, it’s your exGF and CrOwned Print, with returned double vision. Sorry about the adjectives. My bad, from “the other place”

[@colinmcmahon5829]

I dont know.. something about Logging and Keys. All O could do not to point out “How well taught, Canada.” You know what you’re all like.

[@NimRo]

@AngleCoreWow no, the issue is black people who wear white flower clothes. contrasted by white people wearing black flower clothes.

[@970357ers]

The world has been warmer and will be again. CO2 & sea levels have been higher and will be again. The problem is people thinking the world is a static rather than dynamic system. Also, unless we cut non renewable resource use to zero, the planet will run out, only later rather than sooner.

I don't know about anyone else, but DaisyWorld looks like a meatball =P
