The approximate duration of Cretaceous Period is from 136 to 65 million years before present, and, hence, if the Lake Zaysan existed from " the late Cretaceous Period ", that means Zaysan must be older than 65 million years, and is the oldest lake on the planet, nearly three times older than Baikal.

When the latter discover that the humans cannot be domesticated, all of the humans are forcibly removed from the planet and placed in their ship, which is then transferred to another star system and planet by means of technology sufficiently advanced that it is not observable by the humans.

The two extreme views on terraforming are personified by Saxifrage " Sax " Russell, who believes their very presence on the planet means some level of terraforming has already begun and that it is humanity's obligation to spread life as it is the most scarce thing in the known universe, and Ann Clayborne, who stakes out the position that humankind does not have the right to change entire planets at their will.

Pulling the trigger when the hammer is not cocked moves the hammer back by means of a strut, or some other mechanism, which ultimately does not give the hammer as much rearward travel as manual cocking.

This means that if observer A sends a signal to observer B which moves faster than light in A's frame but backwards in time in B's frame, and then B sends a reply which moves faster than light in B's frame but backwards in time in A's frame, it could work out that A receives the reply before sending the original signal, challenging causality in every frame and opening the door to severe logical paradoxes.

The fastest means by which most species can move is a kind of " belly run ", where the body moves in a snake-like fashion, limbs splayed out to either side paddling away frantically while the tail whips to and fro.

This means that the angular speed at which it rotates around its center of mass is the same as the angular speed at which it moves around the overall system barycenter.

Movement occurs by bulk flow ; phloem sap moves from sugar sources to sugar sinks by means of turgor pressure gradient.

This means the boulevard is heavily congested ( and traffic moves at a slow speed ), which makes entering the boulevard from on-ramps difficult without the " priorité à droite " rule and would cause congestion in the area surrounding the on-ramp.

: More typically, solving a game means providing an algorithm that secures a win for one player, or a draw for either, against any possible moves by the opponent, from the beginning of the game.

In a semi-automated wire-wrap system, this means that the wrap head moves away from the user's hand when placing a wire.

A typical time control is " 60 minutes + 30 seconds byo-yomi ", which means that each player may make as many or as few moves as he chooses during his first 60 minutes of thinking time, but after the hour is exhausted, he must make each move in thirty seconds or less.
