Recognizing plants alive, we nonetheless refuse them the ability to think, to experience various feelings. We are wrong. Plants, just like a person, experience joy, love, boredom, fear, empathize with those in need and fear death. Former CIA Schnick Cleve Baxter Photos from open sources
Clive Baxter was a polygraph specialist (detector) lies), for a long time collaborated with the CIA, in 1949 he developed printing program for the Office, several printing techniques and 7-position polygram analysis scale, creator of the famous The Baxter Test. In printing, he was one of the founders and is still considered the authority of number 1. At the end of the 50s of the XX century Baxter went to the “free bread” and founded a training school polygraph specialists. Being human in nature inquisitive, Cleve was interested in questions from a wide variety of areas. In February 1966, he first plugged in laboratory plant (dracaena) to the lie detector, just from curiosity. Instead of the expected straight or smooth curve, he got diagram with many peaks and drops: the plant lived saturated emotional life! Baxter launched a series of focused experiments. Research baxter dracaena reacted when it was watered, injured, the leaves were dipped in boiling water. Once, looking at a plant connected to a polygraph, Cleve thought and not set it on fire? The recorder’s core jumped up sharply. Did the plant react to the thought? A new series has begun experiments. Photos from open sources
It turned out that plants respond not only to the thought of lethal threat, but also on the mental intention to pour it and even on a simple wish him good health! The presence of memory in plants was revealed. One of employees broke one of the flowers in the laboratory. Subsequently, each time the “killer” entered the room, a witness “crimes” met him with a “cry of horror.” The appearance of a laboratory assistant caring for plants, experimental met “a cry of joy.” Once Baxter, while in the laboratory, cut his hand – and plants immediately “cried.” And when looking at one of the flowers, Cleve thought what he has at home is the same, only better, the recorder issued smoothly dropping curve: the plant “upset”. It turned out to be not alien sympathy for the plants: the arrow of the detector jumped when cooked shrimp or killed spider. Even when boiling water was poured into the sink, the polygraph dispassionately recorded: plants hear the “cry” of dying bacteria and mourn their death. Not Just Plants After experiments with plants Baxter began to experiment with others materials. It turned out that human blood for several hours keeps in touch with his donor, responds to changes in his emotional and physical condition. Biological activity has been fixed by the unusual egg! Dipped in boiling water, it reacted to the approaching death, and his “cry” was heard by others the eggs. So the custom of some peoples to ask for forgiveness from what is eaten food, pray before the meal is not without meaning. Research continue In 1973, Baxter published the book Secret plant life, “in which he described his experiments in detail, in 2003 the voluminous work Primary Perception was released. Scientists do not deny Baxter research. Each experiment carefully prepared to exclude the influence of extraneous factors and the possibility of a double interpretation of the results. The main complaint: a what to do with all this? Clive Baxter replies that initially no one knew what to do with open electricity, but where are we today without him? – and continues his research, not counting them wasted time.
