You can see the results of the planting. The first is healthy enough in its foliage (low calorie carbohydrate) but it is only eighteen inches high. The second is about thirty six inches high and papaya buds are starting to appear. But the third is six feet tall with a sturdy trunk and more than a dozen green papayas of the highest quality and size. To understand the magnitude of this phenomenon you should know that the papaya is filled with enzymes which are long chain high energy molecules. It took lots of photons to provide all that energy but it took lots of thermodynamic energy to change the potential energy of the nutrients to a level of nearly six feet. No photon can weight lift like that. It had to be thermodynamic and it had to result from the difference in temperature between root and flower. For the first plant that difference could not have been much more than 2 or 3 degrees Centigrade, for the second it was probably five to ten, but for the third, it was more than 20 degrees C. and it could have been 25. Hey, all you coastal desert inhabitants, what more proof do you need? If there is a 'Doubting Thomas' sponsor a pineapple. We might also agree to let you sponsor a papaya tree.
