What if these aliens was standing up when they were sick and lying down when they were healthy?

I suppose you'd have to know a bit about the aliens, and about their plants. But humans in the future ought to know at least a little about humans and about trees :-).

If we're talking about a 10,000 year span then yes. But if we're moving to a 100,000 year span, I wonder if we should also be asking ourselves if humans will still be the dominant species...

ETA: 100,000 time range like the Onkalo waste repository in Finland: http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/11/12/finland.nuclear.w...

Depends on how long we have trees and if we stop to look up from our phones (my point being that we can't make too many assumptions).
