   This is a remarkable article:   
      
   "Abstract   
      
   Regular light–dark cycles greatly affect organisms, and events like   
   eclipses induce distinctive physiological and behavioural shifts. While   
   well documented in animals, plant behaviour during eclipses remains   
   largely unexplored. Here, we monitored multiple spruce trees to assess   
   their individual and collective bioelectrical responses to a solar   
   eclipse. Trees anticipated the eclipse, synchronizing their   
   bioelectrical behaviour hours in advance. Older trees displayed greater   
   anticipatory behaviour with early time-asymmetry and entropy increases.   
   These results reveal a relationship between trees, shaped by individual   
   age and physiology as well as collective history. This highlights the   
   significance of synchrony in plants, offering new insights into   
   coordinated behaviours in nature.   
   "   
      
   It seemingly suggests that trees anticipated(!) a solar eclipse.  This   
   appeared in a reputable journal, but..   
      
   In the article there is the remarkable quote:   
      
   "2.4. Quantum field theory theoretical analysis   
      
   In our theoretical analysis we use the quantum field theory (QFT)   
   formalism. The motivations and benefits are the following. Trees are   
   open, and hence dissipative, systems, continuously exchanging (releasing   
   and receiving) matter and energy in various forms with their   
   environment. Moreover, they are aging systems, the origin in the time of   
   their life cannot be moved and their time evolution (the arrow of time)   
   cannot be inverted. All this means that there is ‘breakdown’ of the   
   symmetry under time translation and time reversal, respectively, which   
   is also reflected in equation (2.6)."
