ABSTRACT
AS long as we study changes of matter and energy that have nothing directly to do with life, we are studying the domain of things, for which the word Cosmosphere has been proposed. In other words, we are studying such sciences as Astronomy, Geology, Chemistry, and Physics. But in our last study we made the step from the domain of things into the realm of organisms—it seems of value to clear thinking to use different words like “domain” and “realm.” We passed from the not-living to the living, and for the realm of living creatures the word Biosphere has been proposed. Several studies must now be devoted to the spreading of life over sea and land.
