V.I. Vernadsky was one of the great scientists whose ideas appear to be relevant as the years go by. His research interests were outstandingly broad ranging from biology and geology to radioactivity problems. Does his scientific heritage influence today’s science? Is it popular? Do scientific programs and studies advance it? Why have many of Vernadsky’s ideas remained a theory?
