9th Grade Science Experiment: Garden Cress Won't Germinate Near Routers
New submitter SessionExpired writes "Five 9th graders from Denmark have shown that garden cress won't germinate when placed near a router (Google Translation of Danish original). Article text is in Danish, but the pictures illustrate their results. The exact mechanism is still unknown (Danish original), but experts have shown interest in reproducing the experiment."
Well, your Mom is in heat so I'll try the germination experiment right now. (And yes, while humans lost oestrus, your Mom is such a dirty slut that she got it back.)
The only reason someone would accuse 9th grade students of scientific fraud is that they are themselves prone to committing fraud.
Well, you got me there. I faked my way through most of my college science labs. I figured out that just faking the data to give the expected result is less work and results in a higher grade. I hadn't figured that out by ninth grade, but maybe these kids are smarter than I was.
You don't like the result because you are a computer geek.
No, I would love to see their result confirmed. It would mean there was some new force in the Universe that we are unaware of. In addition to its use as a herbicide, maybe this new force could be used for ESP or superluminal communications. The possibilities are endless. It would be wonderful.
