Dr. Grace Augustine: Those trees were sacred to the Omaticaya in a way you can't imagine.Selfridge:You know what? You throw a stick in the air around here it falls on some sacred fern, for Christ's sake!Dr. Grace Augustine:I'm not talking about pagan voodoo here - I'm talking about something REAL and measurable in the biology of the forest.Selfridge:Which is *what* exactly?Dr. Grace Augustine:What we think we know - is that there's some kind of electrochemical communication between the roots of the trees. Like the synapses between neurons. Each tree has ten to the fourth connections to the trees around it, and there are ten to the twelfth trees on Pandora...Selfridge:That's a lot, I'm guessing.Dr. Grace Augustine:That's more connections than the human brain. You get it? It's a network - a global network. And the Na'vi can access it - they can upload and download data - memories - at sites like the one you just destroyed.Selfridge: What the HELL have you people been smoking out there?Selfridge:They're just. Goddamn. Trees.Dr. Grace Augustine:You need to wake up, Parker. The wealth of this world isn't in the ground - it's all around us. The Na'vi know that, and they're fighting to defend it. If you wanna share this world with them, *you* need to understand *them*.Col. Quaritch:I think we understand them just fine. Thanks to Jake here

Those trees were sacred to the Omaticaya
00:00:03.377 --> 00:00:05.254
in a way you can't imagine You know what
00:00:05.254 --> 00:00:07.548
You throw a stick in the air around here
00:00:07.632 --> 00:00:10.676
it's gonna land on some sacred fern
00:00:10.676 --> 00:00:12.136
for Christ's sake I'm not talking
00:00:12.136 --> 00:00:16.557
about some kind of pagan voodoo here I'm talking about something real
00:00:16.641 --> 00:00:19.352
something measurable in the biology of the forest
00:00:19.352 --> 00:00:20.853
Which is what exactly
00:00:21.896 --> 00:00:23.314
What we think we know
00:00:23.314 --> 00:00:26.776
is that there is some kind of electrochemical communication
00:00:26.776 --> 00:00:31.239
between the roots of the trees like the synapses between neurons
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:35.091
And each tree has ten to the fourth connections to the trees around it
00:00:35.091 --> 00:00:39.122
And there are ten to the twelfth trees on Pandora
00:00:39.997 --> 00:00:42.333
Which is a lot I'm guessing
00:00:42.333 --> 00:00:44.071
It's more connections than the human brain
00:00:45.878 --> 00:00:48.506
Get it It's a network
00:00:48.506 --> 00:00:51.592
It's a global network and the Na'vi can access it
00:00:51.592 --> 00:00:55.179
They can upload and download data Memories
00:00:55.179 --> 00:00:57.089
At sites like the one you just destroyed
00:00:58.516 --> 00:00:59.559
Yes
00:01:00.768 --> 00:01:04.001
What the hell have you people been smoking out there
00:01:05.565 --> 00:01:07.001
They're just goddamn trees
00:01:09.402 --> 00:01:12.196
You need to wake up Parker No You need to wake up
00:01:12.196 --> 00:01:16.742
The wealth of this world isn't in the ground It's all around us
00:01:16.742 --> 00:01:20.058
The Na'vi know that and they are fighting to defend it
00:01:20.058 --> 00:01:24.917
If you want to share this world with them you need to understand them
00:01:24.917 --> 00:01:29.063
I'd say we understand them just fine thanks to Jake here
