Experiment 14: Alfalfa Sprouts

My name is Craig Morrin. I have been building meditation pyramids for over two decades now, and I have decided to embark upon the crazy and most dubious quest to do something that has never been done, ever before: to prove through scientific experiments that pyramid energy actually exists.

In this experiment, I started with 2 grams each of dry alfalfa seeds in six individual cups and soaked them for 4.5 hours in one tablespoon of water before transferring them to cups that had small holes poked in the bottom using a pushpin. I weighed the dry seeds using a scale that read to 0.01 grams.

After being transferred to the cups with the holes in them, I covered each of them with muslin bags to reduce variance between samples due to exposure to light.

Each day, I soaked the seeds in water by dunking them in a little container all at the same time:

As it was cold in the workshop (it got down to 37 degrees Fahrenheit), it took a while to see any noticeable spouts. After 9 days, I weighed each of the cups using an even more precise scale that read down to 0.001 grams.

Each time I weighed them as the days wore on, I would do so before soaking them in water to reduce the random variances in weight. I also wiped the bottom of each cup with a paper towel, as some of the samples would be sitting in a puddle of water, while others would not.

After 9 days, the samples on the left side of the workshop were:

Left Sample: 8.899g

Right Sample: 9.048g

Pyramid Sample: 9.343g

And on the right side of the workshop, they were:

Left Sample: 9.604g

Right Sample: 9.600g

Pyramid Sample: 9.889g

Even though that might not seem like a real significant difference between the pyramid samples and the control samples, I got real excited because if the readings were correct, it actually was pretty significant.

But alas... as I continued to weigh them each day, there was quite a variance between them. On the 13th day, the last day of the experiment, the weights for each sample on the left side of the workshop were:

Left Sample: 10.106g

Right Sample: 9.744g

Pyramid Sample: 9.633g

And on the right side of the workshop, they were:

Left Sample: 10.190g

Right Sample: 10.766g

Pyramid Sample: 10.904g

So while the Pyramid Sample on the right side of the workshop was the heaviest, on the left side, it was the lightest. Overall, the results of this experiment had no statistical significance, and any true skeptic worth their salt would have attributed it all to random chance. And I wouldn’t say they were necessarily wrong. However, there were some factors in this experiment to take into consideration: First had to do with the scales themselves. The one I started with to weigh the dry alfalfa seeds had a resolution of 0.01g, and then later I switched to an even more accurate one with a 0.001g resolution. In the beginning, though, for both scales, my measurements were affected by drift, meaning the weight the scales would give shifted over time. It wasn’t until the latter half of the experiment that I learned that if I turn on the scale and let it settle in for about a minute–to “warm up the engine,” so to speak–the readings became much more consistent. Towards the end, I would take multiple readings of each sample, and they varied at most by 0.006g, less than 1/100th of a gram.

There were other factors to consider, as well, especially when it came to drainage. Because some of the samples were sitting in a puddle of their own water while others were not, the weight between the samples could have been drastically affected. So in my next experiment, I have printed out on my 3D printer drain plates for each cup to sit upon so they will all be able to drain equally.

Even though I got extremely excited by the initial readings only to be disappointed later on, I think this is the best experimental setup that I have created by a long shot. The precision of my scale is such that, if smaller pyramids such as the ones I am using were unable to create significant enough differences to be noticeable by the naked eye–it could still be potentially picked up by the scale. And even if the difference was very slight, if it was consistent from one experiment to the next, it would be significant.

So now that I know how to accurately use my scale, and have hopefully eliminated the drainage issue that could have affected the results, I eagerly look forward to what lies ahead.

ONWARD!!!
