The effects of music on plants. Hmmmm. this is another fascinating myth.
I saw a TV show this past autumn, called the "Mythbusters". Thus us a funny show, where a hypothesis in the form of a myth is either confirmed or busted. In this episode, they set up identical greenhouses, in which one had voices arguing loudly telling the plants they 'sucked', one had Mozart, one had pleasant voices telling the plants they were beautiful, and one with loud, trashy, bashing and booming heavy metal rock. Of the 4 greenhouses, 3 had little deviation. The one with the most obvious positive growth was the loud rock greenhouse. ed At 01:31 AM 1/6/2006 -0800, gary digman wrote: >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Donatella Galletti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "lute" <lute@cs.dartmouth.edu> >Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 1:10 AM >Subject: [LUTE] Re: Music Therapy > > > > and I also suspect my listening to classical music and playing > > has an influence on the plants nearby, because they usually bloom even >when > > they are not supposed to. > > > > Donatella > > >Such validation, to know that even the plants respond to one's music.
