Plants know what your thinking - gordon Mallonee

so there is this super cool book that is called, The Secret Life of Plants. it talks about many things but what i thought was very interesting was the experiments that were done to plants that were hooked up to lie detector machines, also known as a galvanometer. this paragraph is the most interesting in the first chapter. "The most effective way to trigger in a human being a reaction strong enough to make the galvanometer jump is to threaten his or her wellbeing. Backster decided to do just that to the plant. he dunked a leaf of the dracaena in the cup of hot coffee perennially in his hand. there was no reaction to speak of on the meter. Backster studied the problem several minutes then conceived a worse threat: he would burn the actual leaf to which the electrodes were attached. The instant he got the picture of flame in his mind, and before he could move for a match, there was a dramatic change in the tracing pattern on the graph in the form of a prolonged upward sweep of the recording pen. Backster had not moved, either toward the plant or toward the recording machine. COULD THE PLANT HAVE BEEN READING HIS MIND ?"

so plants know whats going on...
