The theme of the intelligence system is unrealistic to come from time to time in fiction, but for the most part, is hopelessly vulnerable to the accusation that this is a term that includes more science fiction fantasy a reality. In particular, it is argued that a species is needed to develop intelligence evolution in order to have a brain herbal is a silly concept.
However, a surprising exception is inthat inexhaustible treasure of species-say, Stapledon Star Maker (1937). In a fascinating piece of history only 8 pages Stapledon tells the story of the rise and fall of a plant of intelligent civilizations. And it does so convincingly, so that takes care of scientific reasoning, even though his main interests are, as always in the spiritual life of the species which describes events.
The 'men on a small installation, heat the developed world, surrounded by a much greaterThe solar energy is available to the plants we know. Mobility is therefore natural that the vegetation of the world. natural conditions of turbulence and the pressure of competition with other species, has finally brought an intelligent breed of plants, whose life particularly vegetables per day and more animals in the style of the night. Their cultural achievements were born on the dynamic tension in their nature. "Every morning, after the long and cold night, swarming the entire populationRooty its dormitories. Everyone is looking for his roots, he sat down beside her and stood in the warm days with spreadsheets. "Nature has come to its world through animals and practical capabilities of human intelligence have shown during their nocturnal activities dominate. But during the day surrendered this mode of industrial contemplative ecstasy, a cosmic community special plants , their nature allows direct absorption of energy that are only available second handanimals.
The destruction of the plant men came through technological progress, who do not trance days, instead of natural photosynthesis with injections of their extra energy, but unfortunately could not give the essential spiritual food that they stole from their former communion with the sun had tried. increased frenetic activity, roots dug and the unfortunate was fully mobile much more rich and powerful, but not truethemselves.
Then came the reaction, and was an overreaction. Roots few remaining grafts were rediscovered and restored the species decreased with relief to the mode of plant life, but the pendulum swinging too far. The intelligence itself disappeared as the plants in their anti-intellectual disgust sank into blissful unconsciousness as simple trees. But the planet is not the population now support extended by only natural. Because no man a pump and maintaincirculating water is dead, life.
may seem, the tragedy of a race of intelligent systems on a world away for the ultimate irrelevance of our everyday life. But with the magic of fiction representation Stapledon touches us through the universal importance of the need to ensure that each species has to remain faithful to its origins.
