Seeds Plus Sound
It all sounds rather incredible, yet Science insists that soon we'll have our kitchen gardens springing in double quick time. The experiment is one with sound waves. Apparently they are quite inaudible to the human ear. But when granted a three-minute audition by a pea seed recently they wrought wonders! The tiny seed leapt into life and was a huge plant in next to no time! It sounds a fantastic notion -a fairy tale built on the themes of the Pied Piper and Jack and the Beanstalk-but science, after all, is like that, and often right beyond argument.
