Awesome information OP
Funny you should say that, i was just thinking along similar lines.
Thanks for posting OP, i REALLY want to build a device that would allow me to try this for myself...i love experiments like this. Spring is upon us here in the UK (although you would think it's still deepest Winter ATM) and i'll be planting up tomatoes, beans and onions soon...i fancy treating half the seeds and leaving the other half as the are from the packet.
I've not tried the links provided yet, but hopefully there will be some detailed instructions available online somewhere to show me how to rig a DIY crude device up to expose the seeds to a HV field for a week or so, anyone found any simple plans around?
I have a few large capacitors, and i have an old CRT TV i'm about to salvage for parts too...if i can build it with stuff i have laying around, (and build it safely) i will document what happens and perhaps even post a kind of photo diary of the results.
In terms of benefit to Humanity, Wheat that grows in a month as opposed to seven months, really would feed the world. Imagine African / Asian communities who have scarce water resources...a plant that grows in one seventh of the time, would presumably require only one seventh of the water normally required.
Would be a life saver in drought prone regions. Also natural and timing / cycle affected pest resistence means no chemicals needed, crop is ready before natural pest life cycles begin and a higher yield to boot.
Where i was thinking along the same lines as 'liveandlearn', i thought of two things, one was could this principle be similar to the device supposedly developed by the engineer called 'Royal Rife'...who suppopsedly built a device that generated HV / Electrostatic fields that could not only cure Cancer, but also appeared to REVERSE the affects of aging on living cells?!
Could the field be triggering a protein or other biochemical release that is causing the targeted body cells to revert back to a 'new' state, as seems to be happening in the seeds described in this thread?
Could the cure for not only Cancer, but myriad ageing related diseases and other ailments be as simple as wearing a kind of band around the affected area that produces a HV electrostatic field for a couple of weeks?
And could these fields, produced naturally in nature out in space, perhaps concentrated in a region along our Solar Systems' orbit within our Galaxy...on a periodic basis, changing life on our planet every 200 - 250 Million years, or in other words once (or maybe twice / sporadically in the case of one off events) every orbit of our Solar System around the Galaxy in a 'Galactic Year' ?
If there is a region of our Milky Way Galaxy, perhaps a Nebula or dense cluster of stars that naturally creates an electrostatic field of sufficient strength, type and duration...perhaps it is this penetrating our planets magnetic field and affecting DNA based organisms? Apparently reverting life back to a primeval state...a kind of refresh or reset for DNA based life, plant and animal...and Human of course.
Maybe there have been no real mass extinction events at all...maybe the species we thought died off in some cataclysmic event appeared to dissapear suddenly, because within one generation, they all changed due to passing through a massive field similar to that described by the OP?
Either way...i'm going to have to try this for myself, thanks for a very interesting thread OP.

After Miller's death in 2007, scientists examining sealed vials preserved from the original experiments were able to show that there were actually well over 20 different amino acids produced in Miller's original experiments. That is considerably more than what Miller originally reported, and more than the 20 that naturally occur in life.
The experiment used water (H2O), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), and hydrogen (H2). The chemicals were all sealed inside a sterile array of glass tubes and flasks connected in a loop, with one flask half-full of liquid water and another flask containing a pair of electrodes. The liquid water was heated to induce evaporation, sparks were fired between the electrodes to simulate lightning through the atmosphere and water vapor, and then the atmosphere was cooled again so that the water could condense and trickle back into the first flask in a continuous cycle.
Within a day, the mixture had turned pink in colour,[9] and at the end of two weeks of continuous operation, Miller and Urey observed that as much as 10–15% of the carbon within the system was now in the form of organic compounds. Two percent of the carbon had formed amino acids that are used to make proteins in living cells, with glycine as the most abundant. Sugars were also formed.[10] Nucleic acids were not formed within the reaction. 18% of the methane-molecules become bio-molecules. The rest turns into hydrocarbons like bitumen.
In an interview, Stanley Miller stated: "Just turning on the spark in a basic pre-biotic experiment will yield 11 out of 20 amino acids."
still doesn't even come close to explain how they arranged themselves in code. that's the 800 lb gorilla in the room.

Never ceases to amaze me that "modern science" is not all that modern at all.
The Miller-Urey Experiment was conducted in 1952 and simulated the atmosphere and elements of the early Earth in a lab glass apparatus. They successfully "created" new amino acids from natural compounds found throughout the universe. Effectively "creating" the building blocks of life. With electrostatic charge to simulate lightning.

Meanwhile, the centuries old Alchemical text speak of using rain water captured during the months of April and May during violent electrical thunderstorms, due to their being sterilized and electrically charged to aid in successful transmutations in the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms.
It can be a "Frankensteinish" thing indeed, especially in the Animal Kingdom and Water Works. Playing God, if you will.
In modern days they use devices such as the Van De Graff Generator to take the works of nature further than the lightning produced in the storms of April and May.
"Coincidentally" versions of the Van De Graff Generator is used in the most powerful Particle Accelerators known to man such as The Tevatron at Fermilab and the well known around here Large Haldron Collider at CERN
What is old is new again. They were not stupid and in the dark.

Previously, all attempts of the two scientists to publish their discovery in scientific journals were unsuccessful, leaving them no other choice to finally announce it in a popular familiy Tv-show in Switzerland.
