Abstract:
What does our biosphere have to teach to the rest of the universe? Not much, right? How can it, when our planet is tiny before the infinite vastness of the cosmos. But our recent results, founding the field of biocosmology, say otherwise - that our living biosphere contains more information, in the form of living diversity and complexity, than the rest of the Universe, supplanting even that in black holes. These results call for a dramatic review of the relationship between life and the cosmos, and even show that humans may be responsible for the dark energy that forces today’s Universe to accelerate its expansion. Now that would be the ultimate environmental catastrophe!
