Biyakugon!
I saw a comic about this once (xkcd, probably?) and going by the scene in the movie, where Legolas has human sized eyes, they deduced that Middle Earth must have an exotic atmosphere
It was a Minute Physics video. Only 2 minutes, and a great watch.

From what I’ve heard there’s a serious need to be able to see past tiny censor bars in Japanese media, maybe this explains it
Can he do interferometry and just have a 3rd but normal eye?
I mean, it’s a sunny day FFS!
Is the unit ‘one league’ used in LOTR (esp in elvish) the same as in our universe. Just asking as nobody here is questioning the units.
I remember asking my dad how far a league was when I first read the book, and then repeatedly questioning whether that could be right in the context of the writing.
Not a scientist nor native English speaker myself, so I’m wondering: shouldn’t that technically say „hypothesis + evidence“ instead of „theory + evidence“? Which is of course nitpicky (if I’m even correct) in the context of a tumblr post, but I’m still curious
A hypothesis is a theory, one that is being tested. It’s got the same root word in both theory and thesis!
Orland-Legolas doesn’t need science to look cute.
I forgot that was the actor’s name and for a second thought he’d gotten married.
I don’t think Gimli has a last name. 🤔
I could be entirely wrong about this but isn’t it in-universe lore that Elves don’t see the curvature of the world and that’s how they can see so far?
These are the kinds of problems I want our species solving
