    A fir? Didn't happen. Needles have chlorophyll. That's produced by the sun. Unless the man had a hole in his chest the size of a flower pot...

    Speculation...a small twig gets breathed in somehow, and ends up in his lung?

    In this case (a fir tree off cut), it can’t. So that’s why we know it wasn’t growing in his lung.


    Not quite. Chlorophyll is a pigment produced by plants. It uses light energy from the Sun to drive photosynthesis (ie. the production of glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water).


    Exactly. It's the simplest and easiest explanation.

    Seeds contain enough energy to jump start plant growth. Obviously, the growth stopped after the nutrients in the seed ran out. He just somehow inhaled a fir seed.

    Plants grow faster in low light actually. But they don't last long if they don't reach it.
    It could have just germinated and created a shoot. The caption kind of confirms that:
    "Doctors found a nearly two-inch (five-centimeter) fir tree growing inside a man's lung when they operated for a suspected tumor, Russian media are reporting."

    I'm not saying it actually happened though, the tiny fir tree looks a bit too healthy and well formed..

    its...supposed to be. In Soviet Russia, tree grows you. Bunch of killjoys on a tree growing here and there, fruity variety.

    that is why people exist for a country and not the country for people.

    To me it looks suspicisously like a snapped offcut rather than a new seedling. It looked like a fully differentiated end piece from a long thin branch. :scratchin:


    Precisely.

    I actually believe this story. I can hear the russian language and it all makes sense. The translation lacks in details.

    That's what seedlings look like.

    How do you inhale a seedling and not notice it??

    You only inhale the tiny seed.

    But not one that is starved of light and nutrients.

    and it just grows with no light?? So I could put a seed in a lidded jar of dirt, water it from the bottom and never give it light and it will grow all nice and green like that?

    It will grow but it will be feeble and pale. It'll quickly grow upwards 'hoping' to come across some light.

    I don't believe that. I think it will try to sprout roots and die. Not even come out of the dirt
