“…E P R P =hc , E P t P =h , R P /t P = c (4) are believed to represent the primordial scales, from which, with a big bang, our Universe should have evolved. They correspond to a regime where all interactions should have unified, combining gravity (G) with special relativity (c) and quantum mechanics (h), G ≃ c ≃h ≃ 1.…”

The inadequacy of the present cosmological picture is underlined. The central issue of energy and particles-photons number conservation is addressed. It is shown that consideration of gravitational self energy is paramount both for matter and for radiation to bring present data estimates of matter and radiation density and the radius of the universe towards agreement with the Planck scale quantities from which it should have consistently evolved. Particle creation is proven to play a fundamental role in the evolution of the Universe. It is argued that we might be living inside an expanding black hole.

“…The fact that the order of magnitude of ρ G ≃ M U /(4/3 πR 3 U ) ≃ .5 × 10 −26 kg/m 3 (7) appears to be smaller than the critical one, unavoidably prompts speculations about dark matter [3] , [4] and dark energy.…”

It does so by mapping and modelling energy and material flows, system resilience, economic and socio-cultural behaviours, institutions and co-evolutionary processes (Norgaard 1985;Ayres 1994, Gowdy 1994Perrings 1998;van den Bergh and van der Straaten 1997;van den Bergh and Gowdy 2000;Krausmann et al 2009;Ayres and Warr 2009).

“…The necessity to consider the complex interaction of institutional, technological and industrial dynamics means that ecological economics can profitably draw upon perspectives and findings of evolutionary economics. In particular, Gowdy (1994), van den Bergh and Gowdy (2000), van den Bergh (2007) and Buenstorf (2000) have all drawn useful and insightful attention to the many distinct commonalities between evolutionary and ecological economics, including population methods, complex systems analysis, energetic flows and other such correspondences. They argue that evolutionary economics can provide greater insight into the properties and characteristics of a sustainable economy than neoclassical economics.…”

Ecological Economics

A basic tenet of ecological economics is that economic growth and development are ultimately constrained by environmental carrying capacities. It is from this basis that notions of a sustainable economy and of sustainable economic development emerge to undergird the standard model of ecological economics. However, the belief in hard environmental constraints may be obscuring the important role of the entrepreneur in the coevolution of economic and environmental relations, and hence limiting or distorting the analytic focus of ecological economics and the range of policy options that are considered for sustainable economic development. This paper outlines a co-evolutionary model of the dynamics of economic and ecological systems as connected by entrepreneurial behaviour. We then discuss some of the key analytic and policy implications.

“…Despite the dearth of writing on existential risks in entrepreneurship research, the field of evolutionary economics has treated the subject extensively (see Gowdy, 2013;Mulder and Van Den Bergh, 2001;Safarzyńska and Van Den Bergh, 2010;Van Den Bergh, 2007a, 2007bVan Den Bergh and Gowdy, 2000). Our own field -the exceptions being Potts et al (2010) and Breslin (2008) -has been poor in mapping entrepreneurial action against energy and material flows, system resilience, and co-evolutionary processes, and especially how entrepreneurship is constrained by and affects Earth's carrying capacity,…”

The emergence of biosphere entrepreneurship: are social and business entrepreneurship obsolete?

This article combines entrepreneurship, economics and sustainability to build a new theory of biosphere entrepreneurship. Going beyond business and social entrepreneurship, which add value to economic and social spheres, respectively, biosphere entrepreneurship adds value to the biosphere. The purpose of this article is to define biosphere entrepreneurship, and to devise and extend mental models (frameworks) relating entrepreneurship and climate change in order to facilitate theory building. Using images and visual depictions, the article elaborates a series of illustrative candidate frameworks that suggest a theoretical model of biosphere entrepreneurship. The article aims to show how the Earth, humanity, and the economy are connected through negative and positive entrepreneurship. It extends extant frameworks from the fields of financial and capital, entrepreneurial allocation, risk and survival, value and disvalue creation, growth and de-growth, socio-cultural frameworks, and entrepreneurial opportunity in order to substantiate the existence of entrepreneurial activity that adds value to Earth. The article concludes with implications for entrepreneurship education. What should educators be doing to help our young entrepreneurs come to grips with existential and catastrophic risks to the planet? (Includes 11 colour figures)
