Seem to recall this kind of thing has been done before.

“Seem to recall this kind of thing has been done before.”
Yeah, like every time a nuclear sub goes to sea and stays down for six weeks or so.

Haven’t ever done that, but pretty sure they have clocks on board.

Seem to recall this kind of thing has been done before. Repeatedly.
But attention whores will attention whore.
In the Lombrives — the largest cave in Europe by volume — the team will be forced to adapt to the constant 54°F (12°C) temperature and 95 per cent humidity.
They will not adapt.
They will get sick.

Real isolation studies are not new. This is a 15 person cluster, not isolation at all. Poorly conceived. Results will be more relevant to crowding than isolation. Either way I don’t see it ending very well.

I would think that our bodies have some sense of time; not clock time, but cycles of time involving hunger, thirst, activity, and sleep.
About 15 years ago, I was involved in an accident and had a concussion. I was able to answer all of the medics questions except the ones about time, which reinforced for me that clock time and calendar time are somewhat artificial.

Can I take my books? If I can, then I’ll do it.

I’ve done the 100+ day submarine thing several times. A clock is right twice a day, ergo the military time with 0200/1400 stuff. If you stay down and don’t surface, mid-rats let you know it’s midnite. You get used to it. Field days and poker games and Russians to hunt keep you going. Along with books.

"...forty days in a cave..."
I would enjoy that to get a nice rest...only if organizers could assure me nobody would try to contact me about extending my vehicle warranty.

To: MercyFlush
Yes, but they have things to do and clocks. Also medical, and lots of compatriots.
Caves are pretty boring.

Hope they packed lots of Lamisil and Nystatin.
