    Plants must feel pain, too. One scientist experimanted with fire. He burned a plant for a few seconds every day. Some days later when he lit the match, the plant literally flinched. It must have heard the sound of lighting a match and it got scared to get hurt again. I don't know if it's true or not.

    I know they have done studies about plants reacting to different sounds and types of music, so I am one of the crazy people who talks to plants. Plants are much more than people previously thought.

    Crazy stuff! Only recently I've heard a lot of interesting things about this in two videos by AsapSCIENCE or AsapSCIENCE - one of the two, lol.
    In it they mentioned that plants can hear sounds, respond to them, and unrelatedly to sounds can also pretty much have varying social relationships. And now in this video I can see a corresponding experiment in action. Really amazing, interesting stuff. Thank you!

    We already knew plants communicate with each other, with various chemical compounds. If they communicate with sound, it's probably just to announce their presence as a factor for sharing nutrients through their roots, or something similar. They're NOT having complicated conversations, they would need neurons for such a thing.

    If indeed plants can communicate, then does that mean all vegans will starve to death? since communication is an indication of a sentient life form.

    I'm wondering about the laser beam shot from the surface of the Moon - it's been shown, by laser beams from the Earth, that the Moon is actually 'shaking' and changing its position by about 3 meters periodically. (most probably due to a recent collision with an asteroid)
    How can we distinguish, whether it's the Earth's diameter or the Moon itself that is moving relatively to the other?

    two questions, and im curious. hoping maybe someone out their will see this post
    and maybe some research can be done or has been done.
    but is it possible that vibrations they are reading is their voice travling thru the air - sound being vibrations witch flow thrue the air, and in case causing vibrations in the plant and or contaminate that the plant is held in.
    also being that they said if the laser was pointed at earth from the moon, they can detect slight variations. Because of its sensitivity.
    being that plants grow and use light.
    and sunflowers follow the sun.
    and she noted the rootes move towards and possibly grow towards the laser. witch is a spectrum of light. could they not be sensesing the growth or movent in the plant.
    since their useing observational science test therories. has this possibility been looked at.
    or dissproven.
    i be willing to except plants communicate with hormones, um aslo vibrations is plausible the venus fly trap sences vibrations. and responds to them by closing.
    and other plants use hormones to attract inaects.
    any thoughts?

    • @earthunplugged
      @earthunplugged  10 років тому +3

      Good questions Michael. You’re right, the laser is sensitive enough that vibrations from researchers voices could play a role (in fact, even passing traffic quite a distance outside could) so they ordinarily shut the door to that chamber to minimise noise, we were just in there to show how it works. The plant sound may well just be a byproduct of growth, and not intentional ‘talking’, but the response is interesting. Different species seemingly cause different responses. Plants notoriously don’t like to grow next to Fennel, and it seems just the sound produced by them may be enough to drive plants away. Monica and her team have conducted many experiments looking to block any form of communication (including light) apart from sound.

    • @owlsinthecupboard6063
      @owlsinthecupboard6063 10 років тому

      very interesting, including the ability of fennel to inhibit growth.
      thank you for taking the time to respond. I aprictiate the answer.

    • @rob66181
      @rob66181 10 років тому +4

      Hi Luca, I'm one of the researchers in the video. A good question, but the speakers are not how we collect the data. We record the vibrations directly from the vibrometer and perform our analysis on that data. For the film we simply hooked up a speaker so that the vibration signal could be turned into sound for us to hear.

    @SnoopyDoofie 10 років тому +5

    All biological life is made up of cells and all cells interact with some form of frequencies, whether it's light or sound. In fact, there is no difference between light and sound other than their frequency.
    The first experiment with a laser is questionable because it isn't clear whether the detection of sound is due to the plant's own biological characteristics or whether it's due to the frequency of the laser interacting with the plant.
    It has already been known for a long time that plants thrive in an environment of certain types of music such as classical but deteriorate with other types such as rock music. This is almost certainly because of the harmonic frequency content that is either present or absent in the music.
    In the final experiment, the plant's roots gravitate toward the source of sound. This is because all plant life will gravitate toward the source of all energy sources that are capable of helping their growth, with the Sun being the most prominent of all energy sources.

    • @joshuacollins6748
      @joshuacollins6748 10 років тому +2

      The process you described in the final paragraph is (of course) called Phototropism for those of you who did not know. Plants release a type of hormone called auxins which go to a certain part of the plant, causing the plants to bend towards their their energy source, just like you said.

    • @julianmontes8860
      @julianmontes8860 10 років тому +2

      You're a bit wrong in saying, "there is no difference between light and sound other than their frequency." Firstly, light is an electromagnetic wave while sound is a mechanical wave. Light travels in the form of photons while sound is just when a oscillating object causes the air around it to do the same and bump into other particles which bump into other particles and so on, until it reaches your ear, which is why sound can't travel through a vacuum, unlike like.(This is a simplification because I didn't want to make a longer comment). Secondly, I think you're actually trying to say, "there's no difference between electromagnetic waves other than their frequency."
