About Deep Time Project
- The Deep Time project in France’s Lombrives Cave came to an end. As part of the project, a group of 15 people stayed in and explored the cave for 40 days and 40 nights.
- The Human Adaption Institute is investigating it.
- The Deep Time project looked at how a lack of external touch affects one’s perception of time.
- Its aim was to investigate how people adjust to dramatic changes in their living conditions and environments.
- Fifteen people have emerged from a cave in south-west France after 40 days underground in an experiment to see how the absence of clocks, daylight and external communications would affect their sense of time.
- The group lived in and explored the cave as part of a project called Deep Time.
- There was no natural light, the temperature was 10C and the relative humidity 100%.
- They had no contact with the outside world, no updates on the pandemic nor any communications with friends or family.
