Circadian rhythm.
According to child sleep expert Dr. Ferber, our natural cycle is closer to 25 hours, not 24.
So we get offset after a while.

“And canibalism.”
“How is Timothy?”
“A bit chewy.”

I would resort to cannibalism on Day 2. I know I wouldn’t need to. But I’d do it anyway.

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

Kind of like being submerged on a nuke submarine for 4+ months at a time (Yes, there were clocks on board). Living a (sometimes interrupted) 18 hour cycle or 12 hour cycle with no outside light.

The effects will include hallucinations, extreme paranoia and other forms of insanity. Why does this require an experiment when humanity has conducted so much practical research on the topic over the centuries?

What did one cannibal say to the other cannibal
“You know, I never really liked your brother in law”
The other cannibal replied “That’s OK, just eat the vegetables.”
I’ll be here all week, try the veal.

How about clean source of air?...removal of waste products? Having electricity could allow them to approximate already learned circadian rhythm? Disease causing fungus, bacteria, noxious cave gases, bugs? How do they handle real illness?
Knowing that one can probably leave the place will put subjects at less than “stressed” situation?

Ya think?
Now, if they’d poured a 36” reinforced concrete plug into the entrance, I wager the attitudes would be dicier.

Yeah, the Chilean miners went what, 69 days? And they didn’t know they’d get out, not for certain, until they were out.
To: BenLurkin
Yep. Nothing new here. But they will feel good about themselves, and thats what really matters...
