007skaty Daisyworld
Watch the glowing screen, black and white daisies keeping the whole world cool!
007skaty Black daisies warm the planet by absorbing heat, while white daisies cool it by reflecting light, maintaining a

Daisyworld's debut: The Daisyworld computer model was created in 1983 specifically to answer critics who said Gaia required a conscious planet.
The proportion of incident light or radiation reflected by a surface, typically that of a planet. In 1983, James Lovelock used this reflectivity to model planetary temperature regulation with black and white daisies.
What is the name of the famous computer simulation created to show how life can regulate planetary temperature?
In a cooling Daisyworld, which color daisy would naturally expand its population first?
