It's not the same as Mimosa or Dionaea or leaf stoma, which move via ion channels, but it is changing position in three dimensional space over time. Technically speaking, though even nastic movements and stomatal movement only really move in the same way that a balloon moves when you let all the water out, because plants don't have a solid framework to brace for movement. Ions are pumped through channels to change the osmotic balance, causing the water to passively move out of the cell.
A less problematic praxis would probably be something like tracking disseminules or germination in a barren field. Has anyone ever conducted a task over a period of several years?
I've seen a similar comic, but it was a Korean comic. In it a police officer catches a young man slipping his hands into people's pockets. He's about to arrest him, when he finds out that he slipped notes into their pockets reading that they are special and wonderful people. He then let's the young man go.
And then the people realize that all their money is missing as well.
Not the same...
I wouldn't want to do anything remotely suspicious in person near any major communications towers, military facilities, major landmarks or government buildings. Bullets hurt. :(
Only in Africa though, according to the experts.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (on a upcoming related note)
There is no such thing as experts. An expert is merely a prop created by marketers to try to sell something. Occasionally it's just a person with too large an ego. Anyone who claims to be an expert, says you should not get a second opinion, or attacks you for questioning them in any way, is probably a crank.
Real science is like what Winston Churchill said about knowledge; to paraphrase, the more we know, the more there is to know. But rather than it being discouraging, it merely inspires us.
"Experts" suck.
Secure areas of airports include immigration areas, and baggage claims for the international passengers.
I think a good guideline is that if there are no trashcans in the area and there are uniformed people with guns, photography is not allowed. And especially don't take pictures of folks in uniforms. Trust me, being arrested an put in a little pokey cube shaped room with several folks with their hands on their guns doesn't look like fun.
Yeah, bad idea. I know this to some folks might seem like a challenge, but I really do not suggest it.
Wow, Chaco Canyon. If I remember correctly, it used to be an Anasazi city, and towards the end of their civilization, their ingenious irrigation system for farming corn in the region failed, and they resorted to cannibalism.
I'd love to do this. But I have, like, a job. And taking more than two weeks of leave requires approval by high up types. And I don't think, "going on Odyssey" would qualify for the seal of approval. This makes me sad, and hate my job right now.
If the flag is small, won't it be difficult to document?
I was thinking, perhaps creating some sort of remote control device, and use as a flag, ripstop cloth with al small neodymium magnet sewn into it. Fly it high over Sutro Tower, and drop several. I'm assuming Sutro Tower is made out of ferromagnetic metal here, and given the incredible strength of neodymium magnets at least one will stick to the top, and the flag will fly.
However, I have no idea what effect incredibly strong magnets will have on the signaling on the tower. And neodymium magnets are dangerous. They can crush fingers, and handling them you, or the poor workers who will have to remove them may be injured. Maybe attach a warning label to the flag?
Unless you can somehow remain anonymous for this, I can see the sublime joy of accomplishment, followed by prison. Yeah...so...
Prank caller! Prank caller!
