For me, Pandora resembles Midworld from Alan Dean Foster's book with that name. Even some elements of the story from the book could be found in the movie. In Midworld, all the forest is one single sentient being, and this seems to be the same for Pandora, too. As a consequence, you can look at the planets as one single body.
Saying that, Pandora invading Earth is nearly impossible. Yes, it could send the Na'vi, but that would be compared to a man sending its coli bacteria to conquer another body. And sending plant spores would be like sending its sperm. Nevertheless, it might be interesting to think about what would happen, if some of the plant spores from Pandora (or Midworld) would reach Terra (or another feasible world). But I doubt that such an "invasion" would have immediate or short-term impact. My opinion is that it would take generations before things might get visible. But at least Midworld did not describe a mean how such a "child world" could communicate with the parent - such a child world would be like a palm tree on the neighbour island, without any contacts to the parent beside some passing insects or birds carrying spores or alike. ----------| Am 27.01.2010 19:00 schrieb Abrigon Gusiq: |---------- > After watching the movie, I wondered what would happen and how would it > happen, if the life tree/planet of Pandora (hum) decided to "Invade" earth? > > Plant spores going back to Earth from the defeated corporation or more direct > means? > > Moya from Farascape or a tree or how?
