James Lovelock, who proposed the Gaia hypothesis (which postulates that the Earth functions as a self-regulating system) died today. You can read more about him on his Wikipedia page.
When I was in high school, I did a report on the Gaia hypothesis. I suppose that that was my start in complex systems?
