I saw that.
IF a plant had these senses, what are they for? It obviously does nothing for them if it in fact existed. If you put a plant near a fire it would grow out to where the leaf gets burnt off rather than the plant simply growing/moving away. The leaves on the near side would dry out, wither, die, just growing outward into danger.
The only time they show a preference of direction, the use of senses, is to seek out sunlight or other forms of beneficial energy. Light energy is the key to a plant thriving. The same is true for animals and humans. The quickest bang for the buck is the sources with the highest amount of assimilable light. There are people that live on sungazing, so obviously we can evolve if we wished to, or if we are ready to.
Quote:“plants have a sensory system similar to humans”.This is a bit out there I think. A rock has a sensory system, what do we compare it to? In fact, the sensory system of everything physical I would think would rely on rocks. Mineral deficiency in a human causes a loss of electrical/sensory connectivity. Same with an animal. Same with a plant.
