** The Sun and the Trees **
============================
-- If the sun were to disappear suddenly and completely without a trace, we would not know about it for full eight minutes.*
-- And the trees we see with our own eyes are but the ghost-shells of their existence a split second ago.
-- * Note: Sun's gravity would also remain for those eight minutes.
