Plants are able to think..!

This tree is the baobab tree from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry The body diameter is about 10 meters the height is 60 meters and it is hollow allowing for a large amount of It contains moisture Surprisingly some trees can live up to 6 000 years During the day communicate with the warmth of the sun and the moisture of the earth and at night with the countless stars It is said that as we listen to the story of the universe's history we have spent a long time as a witness to time and a philosopher of nature Saint-Exupéry came up with the idea for The Little Prince after seeing this tree in Brazil The banyan tree which remained unmoved through all hardships is now suffering from climate change They say it's dying If you've ever lain on a summer day on a platform in the mountains or in the forest and looked up at the sky That is it Suddenly the trees with their cool green branches must be thinking something I wonder if it's something they're doing and sometimes the wind carries the branches I thought it was like having a conversation with a smile when it swayed Can trees and forests have thoughts and emotions like us There was a person who had these thoughts and conducted various experiments That is Dr Cleve Backster He taught FBI agents how to use a lie detector On February 2 1966 while watering the dracaena plant on the lab desk We tried to measure the speed at which nutrients travel from the roots to the leaves using electrical resistance But the electric resistance and the graph drew a graph opposite to his expectation The shape resembles the form people make when they feel joy And I was surprised thinking how the graph of plants and humans could look so similar I will definitely show a more certain reaction if my survival is at risk so with a match We are going to conduct an experiment that burns the leaves The detector's needle began to twitch violently as if detecting this intention It drew the curves that people draw when they feel fear or anxiety Doctor was surprised and did a few more experiments before the plant showed the same emotions as humans I had to reach an unbelievable conclusion that he knew my thoughts and intentions They also discovered that plants have long-range sensing abilities He was walking around New York City I thought I should go see the flowers at the scheduled 3 p m The plants in the lab showed a special reaction exactly at 3 o'clock Dr Baster is the suspect in the murder that took place in the living room They also used their sense of smell and memory to find things and conducted many other experiments This type of sixth sense and long-range detection ability is a power that only a few humans possess The doctor's experiments and papers were not published in mainstream journals and were not accepted by mainstream scientists How can you say that it has senses memories and emotions when neither the neural structure nor the brain is visible But when looking at carnivorous plants that catch and eat insects they have sensory and motor organs It also demonstrates the ability to judge They can measure the level of given external stimuli and react accordingly It shows the ability to see and not see and to judge You might think of it as an unconscious simple periodic stimulus But the way our brain and nerves function is based on the same principle When sensory nerve signals are regularly transmitted to the brain the brain judges the regular sensory stimuli Muscles are activated to move You might think that there would be primitive senses and motor nerves When looking at climbing plants they seem to have eyes and optic nerves reaching out to find support structures around them We have no known neural structures or brains that would produce these responses They dismissed it as a simple reaction and did not attempt to investigate further Thus we have long considered the brain to be the source of consciousness thoughts and memory What happens to such a person They are people who have lost most of their brain Dr John Roberts a pediatrician at the University of Sheffield in the UK had fluid in his brain A hydrocephalus patient with mostly atrophied brain tissue is able to live a normal life Your brain asked the spontaneous question " Do you really need this " while observing it This patient suffering from hydrocephalus had only about 1mm of our cerebral cortex remaining which was just 4mm in size This would qualify as dementia and could cause impairments in activities or thinking The patient is not in the hospital attends college has an IQ of 126 and exercises freely Some of the hydrocephalus patients the doctor studied had completely destroyed visual cortex but normal vision Some patients showed vision Cent House who lives in Pennsylvania had his brain infected by a virus at the age of 8 They removed half of the brain after it became infected Then a severe disability would remain one limb and after two years reporters would The child was happily playing and running around in the yard with friends She walked with a slight disability in her left leg but was close to normal I majored in speech pathology at university and gave birth after getting married Such trust calls into question the traditional concept of the brain Another case involved gathering 1 000 participants in a gym to conduct a strength test experiment He handed over a sealed envelope with unknown contents and placed it on his chest then measured his strength a short while later The envelope contained equal parts artificial sweetener and natural vitamin C The group that held an artificial sweetener packet to their chest experienced a decline in physical ability and vitamin C The dance group's physical abilities have improved The brain did not know what was inside the envelope but the body reacted more sensitively to the envelope than the brain So Dr David Hawkins said that my body is smarter than my brain Then in cases where a heart or arm was transplanted there were reports of unusual behaviors or emotions appearing This is called transplanted memory and Professor Gary Schwartz has presented it in several publications It is about the maid's memory ability that appears to the beneficiary changing their life He argued that the unique aspects of a person such as memories and emotions are stored not only in the brain but also in the body's cells It can be said that the brain and nervous tissue are not the only places where thoughts emotions and memories are stored Plant cells which lack a brain or nervous system can also perform such roles There may be substances that play such a role Therefore plants may also think and have feelings The roots of a tree spread out much wider than they go deep reaching out to the roots of neighboring trees They say it's about holding on and weathering the storm The tree communicates between the sky and the earth through its vascular system without any bends Trees do not exhaust all the energy within them and they always maintain their reserve It bears fruit seeds and flowers and in the end gives away everything it has Trees teach humans how to live comfortably It might be good to reflect on our lives through trees in the era of Corona Thank you for watching
