clip - secret life of plants

[InFlamezzzzz]

Did he ever take into consideration during that experiment that an external factor coincidentally (Maybe, for example, seeing as it was 6:30 PM, their may have been a change in weather conditions, room temperature or room moisture levels?- Just a guess) affected the plant's tracing during that 'split-second' he had an image of fire in his head? ... Although I definitely believe in this type of stuff, never thought Humans were superior to a number of things.

[truemirror]

Now I feel bad, I wonder what the plants are feeling when I weed a garden, or more so when I prune a fruit tree or rose to let it produce better.

[CapitalgCapitals]

Like animals, they are much smarter than many humans I know...

[respuestasveganas]

Plants have not brain/mind.

[Evoral]

@respuestasveganas Maybe the "brains" could be the roots of plants?

[respuestasveganas]

@Evoral Plants do not have nerve cells, no neurons.

"Backster discovered that by connecting two yogurts together with wire and then enter a lit cigarette in one container, the other yogurt manifest a reaction on the polygraph, but only true if the two containers of yogurt from the same culture." Science and pseudoscience. pag 216-217. James Ramdi.

[Evoral]

@respuestasveganas lol that's pretty sad, but actually that doesn't exclude the possibility of their consciousness,

because the conscious system can be something very different than our brains.

World has many things we don't know about, yet.

[pichulick]

The Mithbusters made this experiment and there was no such thing as a reaction of the plant. I think there may be such thing as telepathy in all living things but if the mithbusters proved this to be wrong....

[trns1000]

Plants have no nervous systems. How can they respond to feelings?

[dippedincustard]

@trns1000 Good Question! How can they grow towards sunlight? How can a venus flytrap sense a fly and eat it?

If a spider can't respond to your feelings, does that mean it doesn't have a nervous system either?

I am confused!!!

[shitzulovey]

this is true, plants do know our intentions and will react to love , in the Bible Jesus killed a fig tree with words alone. Please be kind to all life.

[dantedoomsday]

Stupid plants. Quit reading my mind. Haven't they ever heard of privacy. I bet they are working for the government.

[trns1000]

The instruments shown in the video are oscilloscopic and a "lie detector" (a rudimentary graphic ohmmeter). They are instruments for "measuring" greatness Electrical ... and not quantum particles.

The work of Peter Tompkins is not taken seriously by any true scientist. Anyone who wants to prove you can buy a multimeter and make their own experiences at home and draw their conclusions.

[coltonames]

I first saw this and his other experiments in college over 20 years ago. He was way ahead of his time, measuring quantum fluctuations before the understanding of quantum physics existed. The reaction he mentions which occurred in "the exact same second" is the result of quantum entanglement. Thanks very much for posting this. I've been looking for it for a long time. We are powerful creators and are just starting to scratch the surface of the power of our own thoughts.

[trns1000]

@coltonames

Os instrumentos mostrados no video são osciloscópico e um "detector de mentiras" (um rudimentar ohmimetro gráfico). São instrumentos para "medir" grandezas Elétricas ... e não particulas quânticas.

O trabalho de Peter Tompkins não é levado a sério por nenhum cientista verdadeiro. Quem quiser fazer a prova, pode comprar um multimetro e fazer suas próprias experiências em casa e tirar suas conclusões.

[imcured]

Neurons in the brain are less sensitive to firings after a first initial one, we become accustomed to the sensation of clothes after putting something on, or a bright room.. the plant can't be 'paying attention' well enough 24.7 to notice an event in another room, not when its own cells are constantly dying and being regenerated, and all the people around it.

I'm interested to hear of any legitimate experiments that have disproved this 'reaction' though..

[edrice22]

You seem to assume that a plant functions as if it was a human being with a brain. It does not!!!

The awareness of a plant is obviously very different to that of humans. Why would a plant not have awareness 24/7 ???

And how would you know it "can't pay attention well

enough" to be aware when there is a violent end to life. There is a vast difference between cells dying and regenerating, and life coming to an end

in a way that is contrived, sudden and violent.

[humbabwe]

your cells are all constantly dying and being regenerated yet you would dodge a rock if i threw it at your head...

[RamzGT]

if you're tripping on acid while peeing and think about this strange thoughts occur... just a random thought lol

[imcured]

Hmm, this just makes me wonder whether plants hate venus flytraps then. Murderous bastards that they are...

He should perform the experiment with nothing in the jar of saltwater as well.

I'm highly skeptical frankly. Biological systems work with desensitisation.

[silversobe]

There is so much we don't know

[jmm1233]

"poor brineshrip , he murdered them , you bastard" ... thinks the plant

[lizzabbott]

Thank you for this. Nice to know that plants have compassion & intuition, even when so many people in power in the world apparently don't. There are great newer studies on the secret life of water, from Japan. Inspiring! Water responds noticeably positively to positive words & negatively to negative words. So since we are all made of water, it shows how speech & thoughts effect our well being. Animals too. We can say nothing but kind words to our pets & they will get it via the intension, right?

[bikeaddiction]

@lizzabbott

They're obviously responding to the tone and volume of your voice..

You could swear and be incredibly negative to your pet, but in the right tone they will still be happy and excited. This is fairly easy to prove.

[earnhardtfanthree]

LOL...po lil wabbit....I don't know about that study ....it's just so bizzare to fathom the thought that a plant can read my mind or become distressed when a shrimp dies...I need a cheeseburger to help me contemplate.

[Agitpropist]

You can eat from plants that bear fruit, nuts, and vegetables; plants that don't die when you eat from them. That's what those that follow Jainism do, one of the world's oldest religions.

[elyron]

Now what can vegetarians eat? I mean the ones who don't eat meat for "ethical" reasons.

[chavdar84]

They eat the fruits of the plants - something that plants produced for the purpose of eating.

[NWM11Bravo]

AMAZING...we are one.

[phthphbreasts]

so as a baby i was always fond of murdering handfulls of grass as persistently as possible while sitting on the lawn i remember.  tiny fistfulls of torn and shredded life. there is video footage of this happening, too. i ve always wondered why i reflexively reacted like that. now i know.

[grannie530]

So the movie actually was released? I had no idea.

[daliabraunstein]

Check out the experiments done in the 50s by L.Ron Hubbard on Plants! You'll be surprised!

[raspe576]

wow! ineed this plant XD

[peapodfontaine]

I like that Stevie Wonder wrote the soundtrack for this film.

[maseross]

awesome

[Yankees103166]

There is also substantial evidence that some percentage of heart recipients (about 10%) take on aspects of the personality and certain personal characteristics of their heart donors (e.g., writing of poetry, where the donee was illiterate before, athletic lifestyles, food preferences, love of classical music). This may be related to primary perception in part. See the videos entitled "Mindshock" on YouTube.

[solar7]

thanks for the mindshock tip off . .

[Koolvedge]

Absolutely amazing. The book was great and the video gives a reasonable visual to the experiements. Especially being that they are from the real people.

[LucidFiction]

The secret life of plants book is great, and the ones that followed the theme, the secret life of your cells, and the secret life of water show how the effect is universal.

[KanzlerM]

Mythbusters recreated these experiments on their show.

That would be a good companion video.

[rockertheshocker]

what were the mythbusters results?

[OnTheWing2007]

I saw that episode of MB. The results were:

The plants involved with the MB experiment were not concerned with the surrounding elements of life. They called it "Busted"

I say "We need more studies"

[chavdar84]

They called it "busted" but in the first experiment the plant started to react the way Cleve Baxter predicted even at a distance.

[txl17]

This is a great clip from a great movie.Please post more clips from this movie. Or at least tell me where I can get it.
