EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, Grover Cleveland "Cleve" Backster (b. 1924), a renowned American scientist, is seen deeply focused as he conducts an experiment on plant sensitivity using a polygraph machine. Backster, a pioneering figure in the field of biocommunication, dedicated his career to exploring the communication abilities of plant and animal cells. The image captures a pivotal moment in Backster's groundbreaking research, as he investigates the notion that plants possess the ability to sense human thoughts. The polygraph machine, a device typically used to measure physiological responses such as heart rate and respiration, is employed here to record any potential changes in the plant's electrical patterns in response to human intention. Backster's work on biocommunication challenged the scientific community's understanding of the interconnectedness between living organisms. His experiments, which often involved plants and animals, demonstrated that they could respond to stimuli beyond their immediate environment, suggesting a previously unrecognized level of consciousness and communication among non-human organisms. This photograph, taken during the 20th century, is a testament to Backster's innovative and thought-provoking research. His work continues to inspire scientists and researchers, as they explore the complex and fascinating world of interspecies communication and the hidden connections between all living beings. Backster's pioneering experiments with plant sensitivity and biocommunication have left a lasting impact on the scientific community, broadening our understanding of the intricate web of life and the profound interconnectedness of all living organisms.
