Sound Waves

Becasue of my beliefs, I do beleive that all living things have a soul and some form of conciousness and so I have had a long standing intrest in stuides reguarding plants becasue I do beleive that they have more awarness and intellegence you might say then most pople would think, and this is something the Druids have held to ages ago.

So I happen to be watching Myth Busters and they were doing this expriment with plants, and they were testing that old folk tale in which they say that talking to your plants makes them grow better, or as some say playing music makes them grow betters so they had 7 different green houses set up all with the same kind of plants and same conditions, but one of them had a woman's voice saying good things, and one of them had the same woman's voice saynng negative things, and then one of them had a mans voice saying good things and one had the same man's voices saying negative things, and then one had classical music and the other had heavy metal, and the last was the control.

So I did not catch the beginning of the episode so I do not know just how long the plants were left like that, but I think it was for a week or something, but at the end of it they came and took all the plants to compare thier mass and take mesaurments and it was shown that the music plants in general did better then the rest, but heavy metal was even better then classial, and all the talkling plants were better then the control, and there seemed to be no different between if it was good things or bad things that were said.

And well this made me wonder, if there is in fact something about sound waves in genereal and the vibrations caused by noise, and coices or music that acutaly somehow hopes simtulates the cells of the plants or is somehow good for them. Because that would examplain why the music did so well, becasue the music would send out stronger vibrations then just the sound of a voice would, and well Heavy Metal would be louder, and much stronger then classical and so it would send out even stronger viberations and waves then the classcial music.

Hi!

I read years ago, that you get the best results if you talk at your plant from a close distance. That's why it works better to say nice things to it in an intimate way, instead of standing up over it shouting. In fact, the effects of the latter have never been proven.
