Best 3 quotes of Vladimir Vernadsky on MyQuotes

Living matter is the most powerful geological force.

The radiations that pour upon the earth cause the biosphere to take on properties unknown to lifeless planetary surfaces, and thus transform the face of the earth. Activated by radiation, the matter of the biosphere collects and redistributes solar energy, and converts it ultimately into free energy capable of doing work on earth.

Thought isn't a form of energy. So how on Earth can it change material processes? That question has still not been answered.
