Plants are a life force so is the planet. Put to plants in separate sound proof rooms same condition one room rock and roll other stringed instruments especially fiddles and one plant will die quickly other will grow away from the lights to the music and grow faster and produce upto 20% more fruit. Not new age hippe shit it's life. Life demands a evolution ina circle but our houses cars money everything is square or rectangular. Harmonize yourself with geometries and frequencies of the Earth
That's not true. Plants don't respond to music differently. At best, you might be able to vibrate the plants enough to thicken stems and slow vertical growth, but there would be no effect on the fruits, and the other plant won't die because it heard rock and roll. This IS new-age nonsense. Talking sweetly to them does nothing, except provide minimally higher levels of CO2, which is useless if you aren't also increasing transpiration, light level, and nutrient levels in addition to the increased CO2.
Plants don't have auditory sensors, or a brain. All they have are cells with different levels of turgidity, and changes in turgidity and intra-cellular pressure are what determine plant response.
When I'm able to sit down tonight I'll dig through my pc and try find all my old photos and links to music articles study papers and such. Even the Mythbusters did a show on it and saw results proving that new age science. Don't have to be a Libbey cunt to appreciate science and all the wonders we can learn. What major test have you done to prove plants are lifeless? If your a botanist please by all means show me your study would love to read it. I was once like you until I did for myself and enjoyed all the results I found even unlocked myself and discovered a ton about myself
I didn't say plants are lifeless...that's silly, all life is alive. And plants are absolutely amazing in countless ways, and I could talk your ear off about them. I'm NOT a botanist, and I have no credentials beyond a Master Gardeners cert from a state extension, which means very little.
However, I have studied the biology, anatomy, and pathology of plants extensively. Plants don't have brains, first of all. They have no parts that are capable of converting vibration to sound. At best, they can "feel" sound, and by "feel" I mean that the vibrations can affect the plant in a way that elicits some kind of hormonal or mechanical response. For instance, heavy vibration that can move the plant can cause micro-fractures in the lignin of the stems, causing slowed vertical growth, and after repair, a stronger, stouter stem. That's a mechanical response. But, gardeners know that a better way to accomplish this is to have a fan blowing over it. I actually DID look into vibrating my seedlings to see if there was a difference in growth, but I found no measurable difference. Wind blowing over it though, HUGE difference.
Likewise, a plant can "hear" a caterpillar munching on it (demonstrated by playing a recording of that sound to a plant) which can change the intracelluar pressure(via variable turgidity in the cells), which is believed to elicit a hormonal response, releasing a specific chemical mixture(volatiles) into the air to attract the parasitic wasp.
But these are automatic processes, like a robot. There's no thought, no intelligence. For that, you need an overly complex central nervous system.
I'm a plant fanatic. I love them. They are beautiful, amazing, living machines. But they aren't sentient, and they don't hear.
