Can plants understand human speech? Are they wise? Can you talk about it?

Can plants feel fear and pain? As scientists study plants more and more deeply, the discussion about plant wisdom becomes clearer and clearer. Plants are really much smarter than you think. Plants will compete for territory, look for food, avoid predators and let prey fall into traps. They live like any animal and act accordingly. Among the fast-moving plants, we do see the animal characteristics of plants. When we touch the sensitive plant mimosa, its leaves will retract quickly, as if we can feel our touch. Venus flytrap looks like an open shell with three pairs of fine hairs in it, which are used to feel the activities of prey. However, if it is only a tentative tease, it will not close immediately, because the energy consumed by Venus flytrap at a time is huge, so only by repeatedly touching the fine hairs to make sure that it is a big enough live meal, it will quickly close the leaves and then slowly eat for ten days and a half. This predation technology obviously embodies the initiative of plants.

Historically, many scientists have done a lot of research on whether plants have feelings and can think. The result of the experiment will definitely subvert your original cognition. Plants are far smarter than you think. They not only have feelings, but also remember the people who hurt them. 1February 2, 966, Baxter, a polygraph expert, had a whim to connect the electrodes of the polygraph to the leaves of a agave plant. He wants to see if this plant can feel fear and pain. He watered the agave, and when the water soaked the roots, there was a strong sawtooth fluctuation on the galvanometer of the polygraph, which was very similar to the waveform of a person's fear of failing the polygraph. To further prove it, he came up with an idea that he might as well burn his leaves with fire. Just as he was going to get the matchbox, the pointer of the recorder began to swing violently again, as if the plant had read his inner thoughts. This is so weird.

Baxter also did an experiment, which was even more incredible. He asked six students to draw lots blindfolded. The winner must pull out one of the two plants in the laboratory and step on the ground without being known. After that, he connected the surviving one to the electrode of the polygraph, and let the student mix with five students, all wearing masks and the same school uniform, and walked to the plant one by one. When the person in front passed by, the plant didn't respond, but when the killer arrived, the recorder began to fluctuate violently, as if it were frightened. Professor Baxter judged from this that plants seem to have some kind of memory. Once published, these findings shocked the academic circles and refreshed people's understanding of plants. We may not believe that plants can read minds, but their survival wisdom is beyond doubt.
