Please people tell me your opinions on if you think microwaved water stunts plant growth or otherwise is bad or can kill plants

I should first get public opinion, examine current experiments and then see if there is a lack of concensus or enough proof (for instance, what if it's only certain kinds of plants, and I'm not convinced because there wasn't enough controls, or; only when plant is grow from seed in water only)

I don't think microwaving water causes any chemical changes, so there should be no difference (as long as you're using a control -- such as ensuring the micro/non-micro water is all the same temperature before being given to the plants).

It's interesting, something which people get a kick out of.

Why is this titled Bitcoin experiments? These are just experiments that have nothing to do with Bitcoin.

Donate to me via bitcoin, make requests, etc. I won't build a laboratory out of my pocket change

sweet, will be following this~!

I guess I have no opinion and will let the empirical evidence decide for me!

Microwaved water has absolutely no effect on plants, provided you allow it to cool first (turns out hot water causes plants to die). Which reminds me, you should use (conventionally) boiled water as a control, otherwise any differences may simply be because the heat from the microwaves affected the water in some way (the consensus is that all bad effects of microwaves (destruction of nutrients, leaching of toxic substances from containers, third degree burns from disabling the door safety and sticking your hand inside, etc) are caused entirely by the heat and are no worse than ordinary cooking).

thanks. Who disagrees? after researching the evidence

In a world of peaches, don't ask for apple sauce
* other suggestion

Effect of music on plants: Heavy metal versus classical.

Maybe play Nickelback 24/7 and see how long the plant survives.

Seems interesting. You should try and think of more wacky experiments like which plant will die first when one is watered with coffee and another - with energy drinks.

great. Added, Keep em coming

of course I'll research to see if the experiments are already done

microwaved water looks to already have been done
Which one died first?

water a plant with regular and microwaved water

Yes I had that one too in my mind.

I need to get a microwave though.

how much would you help me fund experiments like this?

EXPERIMENT ONE:

Question: Does Microwaving the water for a plant stunt it's growth?

Stage of Experiment: Stage 1


Stages:
1. Determining past experiment validity and public consensus; if public data lacking, move step 2
2. Generate controls and means of experimentation by public recommendations; use the steps and methods that will produce and end result to convince the most people
3. Perform the experiment

PAST EXPERIMENTS AND RESULTS:

Supporting damage claim:

Opposite Result:

Neutral Result:
this 12 day experiment shows no ill effects: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPEFJgfuMwk


OLD THREAD:
Anyone interested in seeing experiments, can accept low amounts of bitcoins (Fractions), or donation only

Examples:

Where you take fast food, leave it a few months come back see how it has degraded or kept up. (remember supersize me?)

Fluoride toxcicity? Could use rats or mice, feed one set fluoride toothpaste mixed with food, the other set as control, see if rats get poisoined

Water two plants, one with regular water, one with microwaved water to see if it hurts the plant
Already done, microwaved water shows plants grow less vigorous, perhaps it kills live bacteria that help plant grow:

Also water with energy drink, one with coffee
