The theme of intelligence plant occurred from time to time in science fiction, but for the most part has been vulnerable to accusations that that concept is hopelessly unrealistic, belonging to more than fantasy to science fiction real. In particular it is argued that a plant species has no evolutionary need to develop intelligence, so that a plant is a brain concept.However nonsense, an exception is surprising in that treasure trove of species-saga, Star Maker Olaf Stapledon (1937). In a fascinating piece of the story that lasts only 8 pages Stapledon tells the story of the rise and fall of a civilization of intelligent plans. And it does so convincingly, in a way that shows that deals with scientific justification, although his main interests are in the spiritual life as usual species describes.The plans that men have evolved into a little world warm, wet a much larger amount of solar energy compared to that available to the plants we know. So mobility has come to a natural vegetation of that world. Turbulent natural conditions, and the pressures of competition with other species, possibly produced on intelligent breed of plants, which is mainly plant and animal life, more days in a big way at night. Their cultural achievements were born of the dynamic tension inherent in their nature. 'Every morning, after the long and cold night, the whole population swarmed to his dorm Rooty. Everyone has tried its root, attached to himself, and remained throughout the hot day, with leaves explained. 'The species came to dominate the world by his feats of animal intelligence and practical human activity has shown during his time at night. But during the day he surrendered this way industrial contemplative ecstasy, a peculiar cosmic community of plants, the nature of which allows direct reception of power that can only be obtained second-hand from fate animals.The of the measures was achieved by technological progress that has tempted them to do without the trance days, replace the natural photosynthesis with injections that gave them more energy, but unfortunately could not make essential spiritual sustenance he had taken from their previous communion with the sun . Hectic activity is increased, the roots were dug up and miserable creatures become fully mobile, much richer and more powerful, but false themselves.Then the reaction came, and it was an overreaction. The few remaining roots were rediscovered and grafted back, especially relieved to slip back into planning mode of existence, but the pendulum has swung too far. Intelligent design is vanishing like the plants in their anti-intellectual revulsion sank into blissful unconsciousness as simple trees. But the planet could no longer sustain the population now enlarged by natural means only. With no one to man the pumps and keep the water circulating, died.The tragic life of a race of intelligent plants on a distant world may seem the ultimate in everyday irrelevance to our lives. Yet, with the magic of science fiction great consideration Stapledon touches us on the importance of universal necessity that each species has to remain true to its origins. [EXTRACT] The issue of Plant Intelligence occurred from time to time in science fiction, but for the most part was vulnerable to criticism that the concept is hopelessly unrealistic belong more on imagination than on real science fiction. In particular, it is argued that a species is no evolutionary necessity, must develop intelligence, so that a plant is a brain concept.However without meaning is a notable exception in this treasure of species-Say, Star Maker Olaf Stapledon are found (1937). In a fascinating piece on the history of only 8 pages Stapledon tells the story of the rise and fall of a civilization of intelligent system. And it does so convincingly, in a way that it is a scientific justification, although his main interests are, as always in the spiritual life of the species has developed the work describes.The 'little world of men on a hot dipped displayed a much larger amount of solar energy, as it is available for the plants you know. Mobility so it was natural vegetation of this world. Turbulent natural conditions, and the pressure of competition with other species, and finally produced a race of intelligent plants whose life was mainly vegetables a day and more animals in the style of the night. Their cultural achievements were the dynamic tension that arises in nature. "Every morning, after the long cold night, the entire population swarmed to his dorm Rooty. Everyone is looking for his roots, his eyes fixed on it stood on hot days, with spreadsheets." The species that came to his world, which showed the animal practices and human intelligence capabilities, they dominate during their nocturnal activity. But as the day when he gave way to industrial contemplative ecstasy of certain plants particular cosmic community whose nature allows direct reception of power when it came to be produced only second-hand through the disappearance of the plant animals.The men from technological progress, the attempt to do during the day without trance, rather than natural photosynthesis by injecting them extra energy, but unfortunately could not provide the essential spiritual food that they had from their previous association with the light of the sun derived. Frenetic activity is increased, the roots were dug and the unfortunate creature was completely mobilized, much richer and more powerful, but false, themselves.Then the reaction came, and was an overreaction. The few remaining roots were rediscovered and returned grafted, the types of relief rushed back into the system mode of existence, but the pendulum has swung too far. The intelligence itself, as the plants in their anti-intellectual horror sank into blissful unconsciousness vanished as simple trees. But the planet is no longer the population now support extended by natural means only. With no one likes to fill the pump and keep the water circulating that appear died.The life tragedy of a race of intelligent systems on a world wide to be the ultimate insignificance of our daily lives. But with the magic of fiction account of the great Stapledon touches us through the universal importance of the need to have a way to stay true to their origins ....
