The Future of Life: When Limits Shape Evolution
In a world where Earth's mass is fixed and its biosphere tightly bound by physical laws, life faces a paradox: unbounded population growth in a finite system. This groundbreaking exploration delves into the invisible walls that shape our planet's capacity to support life—rotational stability, resource scarcity, and the conservation of angular momentum.
Through scientific insight, historical patterns, and evolutionary case studies, the narrative journeys from the era of mammoths and dinosaurs to the speculative future of miniature, Lilliputian beings—biological adaptations born from ecological desperation.
Are we heading toward a world of downsized life—dwarfed not by nature, but by our own excess?
This eye-opening work blends physics, ecology, and evolutionary theory to ask the ultimate question: What happens when life pushes past its planetary boundaries?
