They have them in the same room. Have you ever grown a seed?
And this is why you don't get it. The router will generate heat when it is on which will also affect the humidity inside the bucket. They are not growing under the same conditions. We also don't know what changed between the soil, moisture content, seeds or general environment when the second batch was grown.
This is why you don't understand what I'm saying. To you it's all the same conditions and you don't question it. That's not science. That's scientism.
Not necessarily, depends on the amount of heat. Also germination didn't seem to be the problem here, rather growth. If the box was too hot it could certainly have this result.
Ultimately the experiment needs more controlled conditions to come to a good conclusion.
Heat seems like a difficult thing to control for, cuz how are you going to generate radiation constantly without heat? I suppose you could try to heat (more) the other box, too. If they didn't do these experiments simultaneously, that's fucked up. I might change the premise to "does living right next to a WiFi router affect plant growth," because undoubtedly in addition to RF ("radiation") the box is probably giving off some other things as well.

Simple, don't put the WiFi router inside the container with the seeds.

This is what I was saying. Not enough details in the video to tell if they ran the experiments simultaneously or in series. If they did them in series, then that's not a well controlled experiment.
Simple, don't put the WiFi router inside the container with the seeds.
So you're saying, build a Faraday cage around the whole thing -- router and container with seeds -- then put the router outside the container? I'd still be worried about heat due to the router being in the cage. But of course you check on heat and humidity. I think that's the key is to check and equalize.
