Because Gliese 581 is only 1% as bright as the Sun, it exudes little warmth, and its habitable zone lies much closer. At this distance, planets get locked into strong gravitational pulls that tend to slow their rotation.
Their throats cut, the blood of the vanquished drained into a cup and the cup was then drunk by a God-like deity. It was, the archaeologists slowly realized, a story not of war but ritual combat followed by human sacrifice.
I yelled at a guy who was moving really slowly. Then I got a taste of my own medicine. People screamed at me when I dropped my bag and held up the whole line.
The racers are placed at a center circle and, when the command is given—"Ready, Steady, Slow!"—they're let loose toward the finish line. The average speed of a snail clocks in at around 0.03 mph/0.05kph.
Akirachix seeks to carve a spot for women in a geek culture that is slowly permeating Kenya. Applications started by Kenyan women are already solving many local problems.
The slow but sure force with which tree roots crush and overcome concrete (and sometimes even steel) inspires visions of a natural reclamation of the civilized world, their serpentine forms resembling rivers and lightning.

Scientists say that Neanderthals matured more rapidly than homo sapiens, living fast and dying young. By aging slower, humans had more time to organize socially and learn.
After 33 years, the ship is about 10.8 billion miles away from the sun in an area where the velocity of the hot ionized gas emanating from the sun has slowed to zero.
