A very interesting Experiment, with interesting results.
Some would claim that it is not science, however I would argue that
it definately IS science, even though no known mechanism exists to explain the results.
Some people would argue that since bacteria are known to cause food to spoil and they are
microscopic and present everywhere, that these results fall into the realm of background noise
and can be attributed entirely to random coincedence. However,
If we were to repeat this experiment on a massive scale, say 1000 jars, we could test this:
so this experiment is indeed falsifiable.
Our hypothesis: Speaking good kind or loving words to a jar of boiled rice will cause it to stay fresher for longer than a jar of boiled rice which is only told bad or negative things.
Results: seem to confirm the hypothesis
However, no one has offered an explaination as of yet for why this is !
