Evidence of Plant Intelligence - The Bizarre Polarity of Plants - Rupert Sheldrake

O tym filmie

It has long been thought that plants do not have the capacity to think because they don't have a brain or a central nervous system. But little is known about plant consciousness, let alone our own consciousness. In this episode, Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, presents the curious phenomenon of polarity in plants. There is a natural, inherent polarity in plants that is expressed in roots and shoots, but the polarity is present all the way down to the cellular level. Rupert Sheldrake demonstrates a number of experiments that detail just how bizarre this polarity is. His experiments focus on Auxin, the principal growth hormone in plants, and reveal that polarity has nothing to do with gravity, cell division or age. There is a mysterious influence that acts within plants that pushes auxin in one direction, from the shoots towards the roots. This directionality is even maintained when the plant is grown upside down. Rupert Sheldrake is a British biologist, author, and researcher born on June 28, 1942 (age 83). He is best known for proposing the groundbreaking theory of morphic resonance (also called morphic fields). He is the author of more than 100 scientific papers and 9 books, and the co-author of 6 books. His books have been published in 28 languages.
