The noosphere can be seen as the " sphere of human thought" being derived from the Greek 'nous' meaning ' mind' in the style of ' atmosphere' and ' biosphere'. Just as the biosphere is composed of all the organisms on Earth and their interactions, the noosphere is composed of all the interacting minds and memes on Earth. The word is also sometimes used to refer to a transhuman consciousness arising from all these interactions - which those who have read Teilhard de Chardin sometimes refer to as the Omega Point, and consider the goal of historyHistory is often used as a generic term for information about the past, such as in "geologic history of the Earth". When used as the name of a field of study, history refers to the study and interpretation of the record of human societies. The term histor. In Vernadsky'sVladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky ( March 12, 1863, N. February 28, O. January 6 1945) was a Russian mineralogist and geochemist who first popularized the concept of the noosphere and deepened the idea biosphere to the meaning largely recognized by today's sci theory, the noosphere is the third in a succession of phases of development of the earth, after the geosphereGeosphere is another term for the lithosphere of the Earth. If one is speaking of a chunk of stuff floating around in space other than the Earth itself, "lithosphere" would be more correct because it comes from "lithos" meaning "rock" (instead of "geos" w (inanimate matter) and the biosphere (biological life). Just as the emergence of life fundamentally transformed the geosphere, the emergence of human cognitionThe term cognition is used in several different loosely related ways. In psychology it is used to refer to the mental processes of an individual, with particular relation to a view that argues that the mind has internal mental states (such as beliefs, des fundamentally transforms the biosphere. In contrast to the conceptions of Teilhard de Chardin, the GaiaGaia also spelled as "Gaea", "Gaia", or "Ge", can refer to any one of the following: GAIA is the acronym of "Global Alternate Information Applications" an indian organisation working in media with alternative content Gaia is a Greek and Roman goddess, als theorists, or the promoters of cyberspace, Vernadsky's noosphere is not something that is just now coming into being, or will emerge in the future; it arrived with the birth of the first cognitive human being, and is manifested throughout the biosphere in the form of human intervention, which principally takes the form of economic development of the planet.
