  • That hella depends on the kind of tree. Just had a 9 meter hazelnut tree in my back yard cut down to about one meter. Not a leaf left on the thing. Couple months later and it’s already back to two meters with a lot of leaves on it. it’s expected to be back to about 6 meters next year.

    Try that with e.g. an oak though and it’ll not go as well.


  • this sort of really briefly works if the observer is nearer the new location. Light from the new location reaches the observer before the lack-of-light reached the observer from the old location.

    still would only work for the tiniest amount of time and confuse no-one, but then this isn’t hard sci-fi.
