One year after the first closure in France, 15 women and men, between the ages of 27 and 50, began the day before yesterday an experiment requiring them to live for 40 days in a cave in Ariege (southwestern France), separated from the concept of time, as part of an experiment. With a scientific goal.
The head of the mission, Christian Chloe, explained that the aim is to study the human capacity to adapt to the loss of spatial and temporal parameters, an issue that was raised during the health crisis.
On this basis, the "Deep Time" project was born. Without a clock, phone, and natural light, the group, which includes seven men and seven women, in addition to Chloe himself, will have to get used to the 12 degrees temperature and 95% humidity inside the Lombreve Cave, and that They generate electricity using a pedal system, and draw what they need from water from a depth of 45 meters.
