+ | --- Louise Hieronymus suspected that the unknown energy emitted from metals | ||
+ | might be somehow linked to sunlight; since it could be transmitted over | ||
+ | wires, it might have an effect on the growth of plants. | ||
+ | To find out, Hieronymus placed **some aluminum-lined boxes in the | ||
+ | pitch-dark cellar of his Kansas City house**. Some boxes he grounded to | ||
+ | a water pipe and connected by separate copper wires to metal plates on | ||
+ | the outside of the house exposed to full sunlight. Other boxes were left | ||
+ | unconnected. In all of them Hieronymus planted seed grain. In the | ||
+ | connected boxes the seeds grew into sturdy green plants. The seeds in the unconnected boxes had no trace of green and were anemic and | ||
+ | drooping. | ||
+ | This brought Hieronymus to the revolutionary conclusion that what- | ||
+ | ever caused the development of chlorophyll in plants could not be | ||
+ | sunlight itself but something associated with it, which, unlike light, was | ||
+ | transmittable over wires. He had no idea at what frequency this energy | ||
+ | might be located on the electromagnetic spectrum, or even if it was | ||
+ | related to it. | ||
