That's the point - we, as humans, would never seen this happen. Not saying trees specifically, of course, but any low energy species would be moving on time scales far longer than we would have the perception to observe.
I don't know, what if you have a very low-energy species? Their perception of time could be sufficiently slow that traversing the stars would seem, perhaps, like hours or days whereas for us it's millennia. Obviously this form of life would be impossible for us to communicate with. But I...
What's interesting is that even the outer most planets must still get plenty of sunlight. I think I read somewhere that even on Pluto one could still easily read a book.
Yeah, fucking amazing fun. If you like Ash vs Evil Dead then you'll love love this.
What is going on with Syfy and all these great shows? Strange things are afoot at the CircleK.
Right, even like nebulae for instance. You watch Star Trek and they depict them like these opaque clouds. If you were actually inside a nebula it would still appear like empty space. They are very diffuse.
Yeah, but it doesn't look like that to the naked eye (or through a telescope). You have to take long exposures for it to appear anything close to your picture.
I took an astronomy class at college and the professor had his own observatory at his house. Had us all come out and take a look. I think he said it cost him about 20 grand or so. We looked at Andromeda and all you could see is a fuzzy mass. Might as well just look at pictures from Hubble...
Saw WW this evening. Like others, wasn't great but wasn't bad either. I doubt I'll ever watch it again, but if I do I'd fast-forward to the couple action scenes. Also, kept thinking "Hey that's VM Varga from Fargo!".
Speaking of, this is a GREAT book on the subject:

I wanted to see more black-eyed bad assery, but still thoroughly enjoyed the season. Absolutely love Bajie. Hope he remains a permanent member of the cast.
Alternatively, maybe they thought they were leaving her for dead and she's far tougher than they assumed. The girl clearly has skills beyond just being a con. Think back to when she and Ray dropped the AC unit on Maurice -- she was literally counting down the time when he was expected to exit...
Yeah, this series is reminding me of FX's Legion. It's cool and all, but if you're not familiar with the source material you're probably left wondering WTF is going on.
And, wow, Gillian Anderson did look a lot like Lucille Ball.
Finally got around to watching the finale last night. Good show -- nothing great -- but had an enjoyable cast and I will miss it.
One thing that really bugged me about the series towards the end was Nick and Adalind. There is just no way he could have feelings for her (despite her hotness)...
Any recommendations for a cheap ~40" LED TV for PS4 gaming? 1080p is fine and, from what I understand, 60hz refresh is preferable for console gaming.
I've had great luck with Samsung so I'm considering:
