Can you make apples rot with your mind? You can do it by pointing negative emotions at it
Love and hate: In the "Big Apple Experiment", you cut an apple in half, and then you show your love for half of the apple, and you swear at the other half.
If swearing at a piece of fruit can make you calmer, friendlier and healthier, will you do it? Or if whispering sweet nonsense to it can greatly boost your self-confidence, will you do that?
It sounds crazy, but this is exactly what hundreds of adult women do to pursue happiness.
The "Big Apple Experiment", which is popular on the Internet, claims to prove the serious influence of our negative thoughts on our body and mind.
How on earth does this experiment work? Cut an apple in half and seal them in two bottles that say "love" and "hate" respectively. In the next two weeks, I generously showed my love and positive thoughts to the apple in the bottle with "love" written on it, and severely criticized the apple in the bottle with "hate" written on it.
And the result? Bad apples begin to shrink and rot to the core, while good apples rot much more slowly. Or this is just what Nikki Owen, the designer of this controversial test, said.
Nicky, from Elsford, Kent, came up with this idea to prove the damage of negative thoughts to life. Nicky said that so far, nearly 2,000 people have participated in the experiment-86% of them found that the "love" apple was well preserved, while the "hate" apple rotted rapidly.
What is the scientific principle behind this? "This is not scientifically explained," said Nicky, 55, with a smile on her face. "Believe me, I checked. I have studied the theory from molecular stirring to brain frequency emission, but I gave up the attempt to explain it directly. It has an effect, no doubt this is evidence! "
She insists that what is more important is the metaphor of the power of language and emotion. "If you can use words, thoughts and feelings to accelerate the decay of apples in two weeks, the impact of your negative self-talk on your body and mind can be imagined." She said.
Perhaps surprisingly, Nicky, a single mother who lives with her 21-year-old daughter, seems to have a good foundation for this experiment, which makes this unusual experiment even more curious.
According to Nicky, this experiment is based on the research of Japanese scientist Dr. Jiang Bensheng. Dr. Jiang Bensheng believes that the molecules of the crystal will be changed by our thoughts, language and emotions.
Jiang Bensheng put water from the same source in two containers, one of which was labeled as "love" and the other as "hate". Freeze the sample, and then take photos under the microscope. Nicky said: "Positive words will produce beautiful and symmetrical crystals, while negative containers will form ugly and irregular crystals. I thought, "What if the intention behind our words has a similar effect on the water in our bodies?"
