The Effects of Electric Fields and Plasma on Plant Growth

Here's a very interesting video recently uploaded by the Plasma Channel where he applies "cold plasma" to plant seeds in order to see how it affects the growth of the plants. He finds that the treated seeds do seem to grow considerably faster, and the plants grown from the most heavily treated seeds have changes to their appearance. He refers to the change as a mutation but they all had the same change in appearance, so it wasn't a random mutation.



One of the most interesting threads I've ever seen on ATS was about the experiments conducted by Dr Guido Ebner, where he exposed seeds and eggs to electric fields of different strengths for different durations of time. His experiments also found changes in growth speeds and appearance of the resulting plants. Based on his work, it appears that gene expression is strongly influenced by the electric field of Earth, because it tells the seed something about the environment.

In the late 1980's, while working for the research department of the Swiss Pharma & Agriculture Giant - Ciba-Geigy (Novartis/Syngenta), Dr Guido Ebner and his colleague Heinz Schürch conducted a series of laboratory experiments with various cereal seeds, plants and fish eggs. In these experiments the seeds and eggs were briefly exposed to an eletrostatic field, a high voltage field without any flowing current.

Unexpectedly primeval organisms grew out of these seeds and eggs: a fern that no botanist was able to identify; primeval corn with up to twelve ears per stalk; wheat that was ready to be harvested in just four to six weeks. A giant trout, extinct in Europe for 130 years, with so-called salmon hooks. It was as if these organisms accessed their own genetic memories on command in the electric field...

The Primeval Code

The strength of the Earths electric field slowly changes over time, so by exposing seeds to artificial electric fields we can mimic the field strengths which existed in the past. This causes the seed to express genes which are best designed to survive a given time period on Earth. That means we could potentially use this technique to see how a plant may have looked at a given point in the past, by exposing the seeds to an electric field which matches the Earth at that time.

Tokyo (AFP) - A cosmic mystery is uniting monks and scientists in Japan after a cherry tree grown from a seed that orbited the Earth for eight months bloomed years earlier than expected -- and with very surprising flowers.

'Cherry tree from space' mystery baffles Japan

The strength of the Earths electric field also drops as you increase in altitude, so by taking the seeds to space they simulated a time on Earth when the electric field was very weak. The result was faster maturation times and attributes which cannot be readily found in modern strains of that species. As for cold plasma, I think it's probably generating an electric field, which is what actually has an influence on gene expression, not the plasma its self.

Setting up a static electric field is actually quite easy, so it's not very difficult to run this experiment yourself. That's why I find it kind of surprising this is the first time I've seen someone (or at least a someone popular) actually test this stuff. The video has definitely motivated me to run some of my own experiments. It's hard to understand how something so important could remain so unknown for so long unless someone was trying to hide it from us.

Very interesting. Could this potentially be used to manipulate food growth, or at least bigger yield per plant/seed?

Maybe the electric field that humans have created through grids, power lines, and maybe even 5G is another reason why humans are living for longer, on average? The longer we live the more we can diagnose these discoveries.

In a lot of fiction, there are races that live hundreds of years, so their kind are considered children for much longer, meaning feats and maturity occurs later. Could we have a similar effect with the electric fields created on earth? Would a baby carried in the womb longer have a stronger start like the cherry tree did?

I wonder if an electric field created for an individual person would work like a brace or "powersuit," similar to how shocks and springs limit the wear on a car. The field would act as a cushion for our nerves and internal electric synapses which would limit wear, allowing us to live longer.

I would imagine an electric force field around the world would also allow extra growth for every living organism.

Cool thread.

S/F awesome thread! Thank you!

Well that seems to be a typical result of these experiments, which has obviously led many conspiracy theorists to believe some big companies have suppressed this idea. The Primeval Code thread provides some good details about the history of Dr Guido Ebner and how his son fought for the rights to the patent, assuming it's true.

Power lines and radio towers wouldn't be strong enough to have much of an effect, even if they did, it wouldn't necessarily make us live longer. These experiments often produce plants which are bigger because that's probably how they looked at some previous point in time.

If the process works on fish eggs, I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on human eggs. I imagine the result would be more primitive version of a human, probably bigger and tougher, but also with a much shorter life span. Modern science and technology is likely the prime reason for our long lives.

Having said that, I think the lack of nutrition in modern processed food and the amount of chemicals in our food and environment is having a very detrimental effect on our health, just not enough to undo the benefits of modern medicine. Having said that, modern medicine sometimes hurts our health, but that's a topic for another thread.

Humans remain in an infant stage much longer than most species, it's risky but it pays off in the end. However, I think the cherry tree sprouted early because that was simply a more effective strategy at some point in the past. I think that by keeping the seeds in space where the electric field of Earth is much weaker, the cherry tree reverted back to behavior it possessed when the Earth had a weaker electric field.

Life on Earth seems to think the Earths electric field is very important for determining gene expression. It's probably a very effective method for allowing life to adapt to changing environmental conditions, without having to develop or evolve new behavior when they've already experienced those conditions in the past. In fact I think it plays an important role in how life is able to rapidly evolve and survive extinction level events.

Does it work on animals to improve MEAT yields too?

Big grass, big cows, more nom noms for us.
