The longest experiment

1. The longest experiment

I completed the presentation:
Alice Kulikova УКб-23-1

2. William James Beale (March 11, 1833 – May 12, 1924) was an American botanist

He is known as a pioneer in the
development of hybrid corn
and
the founder of the botanical
garden named after himself.
(the garden is located on the
territory of Michigan State
University, USA.)

3. Seed Germination Experiment

The scientist
wanted to know if
the seeds would
germinate if left
untouched for a
long time.

4. Seed Germination Experiment

In 2021, the 16th "time capsule"
was opened.
Seedlings sprout from
seeds buried in 1879.

5. The longest experiment (from 1879 to the present day)

Of the 20 bottles buried by
Professor Beale, four more
are waiting in the wings.
If you open them with the
same step in 20 years, then
the experiment will end in
2100.
The flower of the mullein cockroach, grown from
a seed that has lain under the ground for 120
years.
