did you all my plans could scream yeah researchers have discovered that plants emit ultrasonic sounds when under stress such as when they're drying out or when they're cut kind of like how humans scream when stressed such as when they have a term paper due or when they are cut only tomato and tobacco plants were tested in this study but it raises the possibility that your Ficus is constantly shrieking in agony what's more they were able to train a machine learning model to identify both the species and condition of the plant from their house of pain these findings may lead to agricultural applications such as listening for which plants need to be watered but it also raises some ethical questions are the suburbs filled with the screams of traumatized Hedges are vegans sociopaths what other things are secretly screaming in pain rocks fruit my dad
The video explains that researchers have found plants emit ultrasonic sounds when they are under stress, such as when they are drying out or when they are cut. The comparison to humans screaming is used to illustrate the idea that plants may experience distress, at least in a mechanical sense that can be detected aurally. In the study, only tomato and tobacco plants were tested, but the results raise the possibility that other species could also produce detectable sounds under stress. The researchers trained a machine learning model to identify both the plant species and its condition based on these sounds, demonstrating a potential tool for noninvasive monitoring. The discussion acknowledges ethical questions, such as whether the sounds of plants could influence how people treat their surroundings, and it highlights practical agricultural applications like listening for when plants need water. Overall, the video presents a provocative look at plant physiology and the possible uses and implications of detecting plant stress acoustically.
