This CERN Scientist Reveals They Captured a Mysterious Entity INSIDE The Particle Collider.
Deep inside CERN's underground labs, the Super Proton Synchrotron has found something incredible. This undercover, four-dimensional force messes with the paths of zooming particles. Hidden in the depths of phase space, this unknown force, called the 4D ghost, throws the delicate dance of particles into chaos.
Scientists at CERN in Switzerland and Goethe University in Germany discovered a mysterious “ghost” that influences how particles move in the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). This "ghost" is a 3D shape that changes over time, so it’s best understood in 4D. The idea behind it is similar to why coffee spills when you walk or why your friends fly high on a trampoline bounce.
The SPS is a huge circular machine almost four miles wide, built in the 1970s. That might seem old, but it’s still super important at CERN.
In 2019, it got an upgrade called a "beam dump," which works like a safety ramp for the powerful beams inside the SPS. When scientists spotted a glitch, or “ghost in the machine,” they knew it was crucial to figure out what was happening for future experiments.
A ghost happens because of resonance. This is when energy creates waves, and those waves mix together, forming spots where energy builds up. For example, when you walk with coffee, every step makes waves in the cup.
These waves meet and cause the coffee to spill. On a trampoline, when one person times their jump with another’s, it boosts their jump much higher. In the SPS (a type of particle accelerator), "spilling harmonic coffee" means losing important photons, which leads to beam degradation.
"I now firmly believe that consciousness is more than an accidental by-product of the neurophysiological and biochemical processes taking place in the human brain.
I see consciousness and the human psyche as expressions and reflections of a cosmic intelligence that permeates the entire universe and all of existence. We are not just highly evolved animals with biological computers embedded inside our skulls; we are also fields of consciousness without limits, transcending time, space, matter, and linear causality."
— Stanislav Grof, The Holotropic Mind, pp 17-18.
Stanislav Grof is an intellectual giant in the field of Transpersonal Psychology. His career began in the 1950s when he worked as a psychiatrist in Czechoslovakia.
There he participated in an experimental program using LSD for therapeutic purposes, soon after it was discovered. It was considered to be an unconventional training tool, but the idea was that it might help therapists if they were able to spend some time in the worlds of their patients.
They could then better communicate with them and offer better treatment. So the therapists had the opportunity to take the drug, and Grof was an early volunteer. He later moved to the USA, where he continued this work until LSD was made illegal. He then devised a system of intensive breathing to obtain the same results without using the drug.
The mid-1900s was a big time for psychedelic research. About 40,000 patients used LSD, and it helped a lot with things like addiction, depression, and fear of death.
One of the key figures in this era was psychiatrist Stanislav Grof. He led around 4,500 sessions with psychedelics during that time. But his work with these substances came to an end when they were banned in 1971.
Even at 93, Grof continues to influence psychiatry and psychology. Together with his wife, he found a way around the ban by creating a breathing technique called Holotropic Breathwork, which gives a similar experience to psychedelics.

This boy said he lived in an Atlantis colony in Egypt 12,000 years ago in his past life and that Atlantis was founded by beings from other worlds 30,000 years ago. He suggests that all past lives happen simultaneously, as everything is part of a singular organism.
Matias began recalling his past life as an Atlantean at the age of 12. He shared his drawings and memories with his mother, describing life in an Atlantis colony in Egypt 12,000 years ago. According to him, Atlantis was founded by beings from other worlds 30,000 years ago.
Matias De Stefano started communicating with his spirit guides at a young age when he began remembering past lives, including one in an ancient Atlantean colony called Kehm and another on a distant planet named Gludok in the Canis Major star system.
He believes these memories help him understand his current mission: to bring heaven to earth, a concept known as Ater Tumti in Atlantean. Matias has inspired thousands of people to join his efforts to heal our planet.
He has traveled to more than 40 countries, visiting key locations to "unlock" energy portals and activate the Earth's chakras. According to Matias, these portals increase energy flow for everything on the planet—not just humans, but all living beings.
Matias’ mission isn’t new. He says it began over 12,000 years ago during the Age of Leo. Today, he is deeply committed to this spiritual path and shares his message with anyone ready to listen, though his journey hasn’t always been smooth.
At 23, while giving a talk in Spain, he suddenly forgot everything he was saying. He realized this was his guides' way of clearing his mind for new messages. Shortly after, they told him that on November 11, 2011 (11/11/11), he needed to prepare a gathering to shift the energy in a specific place. This pushed him into a challenging inner and outer journey, bringing him to the next step of his mission—one that almost cost him his life.
Disclaimer: This story is based on Matias De Stefano's experiences and beliefs. It reflects his personal spiritual journey and metaphysical perspectives.
Matias says the story of Atlantis is deeply rooted in humanity's collective subconscious because it represents the beginning of our current civilization. He claims to remember his life in an Atlantean colony, where he learned about Atlantis through stories told by his grandfather in that life.
According to Matias, the Atlantean people were a mix of beings from the stars and Earth, often referred to as the Anunnaki, giants who settled in the Middle East.
The 'Anunnaki' created a civilization by having children with humans—partly to help their species transcend since their planet was dying. Some Anunnaki treated humans as equals, while others used them as slaves to extract minerals needed for survival.
Matias recounts that the Greek god Poseidon, whom he knew as Stalin in his memory, was an Anunnaki who protected 12 children of mixed lineage. Poseidon led them away from the controlling Anunnaki in the Middle East, settling them near the Atlantic Ocean, where they founded Atlantis' 12 families.
He adds that Atlantis was divided into 12 regions, each managed by these families, who were not rulers but guides. They held knowledge from the stars and passed it down, encoded in their bloodline, to maintain cosmic wisdom and spiritual balance. The Atlantean culture, as Matias remembers, focused on humanity looking beyond Earth and toward the stars.
Matias also suggests that the Anunnaki and other star beings were part of a larger universal experiment. Even they didn’t fully understand their role in humanity's creation. Atlantis, according to him, played a crucial role in setting the foundation for human awakening and consciousness, and he invites exploration into the connections between these cosmic ancestors, Atlantis, and the origins of human civilization.

This Man claimed that the Brain creates consciousness, but his quantum consciousness theory has been criticized for three decades. However, new evidence now supports his claim.
Dr. Stuart Hameroff is a prominent neuroscientist and anesthesiologist known for his work on the science of consciousness. He is the co-founder and director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona and a professor emeritus in the Departments of Anesthesiology and Psychology.
Dr. Hameroff's research focuses on the role of microtubules—protein structures within cells—in consciousness. He proposed, alongside Sir Roger Penrose, the Orch OR (Orchestrated Objective Reduction) model of consciousness in the 1990s. This theory suggests that consciousness arises from quantum computing processes within the brain’s microtubules, with influences from the fundamental structure of spacetime at the quantum level. According to the model, this could explain phenomena like perception, self-awareness, and potentially even spirituality and the afterlife, connecting consciousness to the basic fabric of the universe.
In addition to his scientific research, Dr. Hameroff organizes the biennial Science of Consciousness conference series, which brings together researchers from various fields to discuss theories and findings on the nature of consciousness. He also continues his clinical work as a practicing anesthesiologist. His theories remain controversial in the scientific community but have spurred a great deal of interest in exploring the relationship between quantum physics and consciousness.
A mindblowing Thread🧵
Dr. Stuart Hameroff has been interested in the mystery of consciousness for almost his entire life. Instead of studying brain science or psychology, Hameroff became interested in anesthetics—drugs that cause loss of consciousness—because of their connection to consciousness.
"I thought about neurology, psychology, and neurosurgery, but none of those seemed to address the problem of consciousness," says Hameroff, a retired anesthesiology professor from the University of Arizona. He remembers when he first came to the university and met the chair of the anesthesia department. The chair said, "If you want to understand consciousness, figure out how anesthesia works because we don’t know how it works."

Graham Hancock says that the soul is non-physical and believes that consciousness is a fundamental force of the universe, like gravity or electromagnetism. He supports the idea of reincarnation, where souls come back to live many lives, often in different forms, including animals or even beings on other planets.
He views the entire universe as a place for souls to grow and learn through these experiences.
'I happen to think we come back. I think this this incredible opportunity of a human life would be rather wasteful if it were only one life that we had. I think we come back for many lives and the cards are randomly dealt. We may come back in the next life with a totally different stack of cards from the ones we came into in this life. And that's good, because that's that's how we learn.'
Hancock believes the soul is eternal and has always existed. It isn't something tied to the physical body but a manifestation of non-physical consciousness, which he views as the foundation of the universe. This non-physical consciousness, he says, created the physical world as a place where it can manifest, learn, and grow through experiences.
"The soul is non-physical... the fundamental essence of consciousness is non-physical."
"This physical realm was created by non-physical consciousness."

This Man who worked for Google says Humans will go Back in Time in 5 years & reach Singularity within 21 years: He thinks humans will become a million times smarter by 2045 & it is going to deepen our awareness and consciousness.
Ray Kurzweil can see the future and If he is Right (Again), We’ll meet his Immortal Soul in the cloud. He is renowned for predicting things accurately.
Kurzweil, an American computer scientist and entrepreneur, is considered one of the best inventors of our time, with over 60 years of experience in AI. Many of his predictions about the internet, AI, and bioengineering have come true.
In 2005, he wrote a book called "The Singularity is Near," sharing insights from his work in technology. In the book, he used the term "Singularity," borrowed from math, to describe a future where AI reaches human-level intelligence by 2029 and eventually merges with humans by 2045, becoming one.
A mind-to-AI connectionthread!🧵
In 1999, Kurzweil predicted that we would create artificial general intelligence (AGI) when we developed technology capable of doing a trillion calculations per second. He thought this would happen by 2029. At the time, experts laughed, saying it would take at least a hundred years or more. But now, with 2029 getting closer and more talk about AGI, his old prediction is starting to feel more possible.
In his new book, "The Singularity is Nearer," Kurzweil doubles down on those predictions and details how humanity’s intelligence will increase a millionfold via nanobots (among other things).

This Woman Claims She Has Seen A Spiritual Realm That Is Very Close To Our World. She said that on the other side she could see 360 Degrees & talked with Angels through vibrations.
Nicole Kerr shares the story of her near-death experiences, explaining how she survived three life-threatening incidents. She talks about an accident that occurred in 1983 when she was 19 and a cadet at the United States Air Force Academy.
Nicole was in one of the first military recruitments of women and she joined because of the pressure her family put on her, not because she wanted to. She suffered enduring that process desperately trying not to quit even though every part of her knew quitting is what she wanted. Later she learned that the car accident that caused her first NDE was somehow orchestrated on the other side to allow Nicole to leave the Air Force and find her true purpose in life.
A thread to take you to the spiritual realm🧵
One evening, she got a ride from a senior cadet who had been drinking and had other plans in mind. They stopped to drink beer and smoke, which was a big change for Nicole, who had grown up in a strict, conservative household with strict rules from her father. She felt pressured to please her father, and this influenced her decisions. After the drinking and smoking, the senior cadet became angry when she refused his advances and, while driving at high speed, lost control of the car. They crashed, and Nicole was ejected from the vehicle.
She was pronounced dead at the scene, but after about 10-13 minutes of being clinically dead, the EMTs arrived. They couldn't find any vital signs, but one EMT noticed a slight reaction in her eye. This indicated she was still alive, and they were able to save her. She describes this as a life-changing experience.
"I will tell you now if you've heard of that saying our eyes are the window to our soul my soul had flown out when I crashed through the windshield and went up into the air and I froze in that position and I knew when I looked down that I was going to die I just knew it and I called out to God to police help me and what happened was an angel came and took me up to the other side."
Yes, it is true that Tucker Carlson said 'there are forces. That are not human, that do exist in a spiritual realm of some kind that we cannot see and that when you think about it, sort of make you think we live in an ant farm.'
Carlson believes that the U.S. government has entered into some sort of agreement with entities thought to be aliens, who are not extraterrestrial but rather have always been present on Earth and may be spiritual in nature.

Yes, there is original CIA document which says in 1984, the CIA conducted a remote viewing session where a psychic allegedly looked back to 1 Million Years B.C. on the planet Mars. The psychic allegedly saw dying Giants & obelisks. This was part of a bigger operation called ‘Project Stargate’ which aimed to use psychics for intelligence gathering, including spying on the Soviets.
The CIA document titled “Mars Exploration May 22, 1984,” basically centers around a subject that made use of astral projection which helped him observe ancient alien life on Mars.
In this document, there is a transcript, where a subject named Joseph McMoneagle, a retired US Army veteran was given an envelope prior to the interview and asked not to open it until the interview ended.
According to the CIA’s own documents, the unnamed psychic described “The planet Mars. Time of interest approximately 1 million years B.C.”
[Subject]: I’m seeing, ah… It’s like a perception of a shadow of people, very tall… thin, it’s only a shadow. It’s as if they were there and they’re not, not there anymore.
[Monitor]: Go back to a period of time where they are there.
Sub: Um… (mumble) It’s like I get a lot of static on a line and everything, it’s breaking up all the time, very fragmentary pieces.
Mon: Just report the data, don’t try to put things together, just report the raw data.
Sub: I just keep seeing very large people. They appear thin and tall, but they’re very large. Ah… wearing some kind of strange clothes.
According to the date specified in the “Mars Exploration” memo, it was approved to be published only in 2000 although it was recorded in 1984, and McMoneagle was the only remote viewer to be working at that time. He wrote in his book “Mind Trek” about a similar incident mentioned in that memo.

Mike Tyson says ‘Magic Mushroom’ changed his life: He takes them to alter his consciousness which helped him in his spiritual exploration. He says, "I AM CURED."
During his reign as heavyweight champion of the world, no one was more feared than Mike Tyson, who obliterated opponents with ruthless efficiency.
But all the while, the troubled superstar was at war with himself, battling an abusive voice in his battered head that led "Iron Mike" to the brink of suicide.
He said that all changed when he began taking psilocybin mushrooms, more commonly known as "magic mushrooms," and other similar consciousness-altering substances.
Disclaimer: This post does not promote the use of any drug that alters a person's perception of reality.
A thread🧵
He said psilocybin helped him bridge that gap and the experience led him to found Wesana Health, a first-of-its-kind company dedicated to studying its ability to treat traumatic brain injury (TBI) in athletes, veterans and others.
"To think where I was - almost suicidal - to this now. Isn't life a trip, man? It's amazing medicine, and people don't look at it from that perspective."
Humans have been ingesting psychedelics since the earliest days and as stigmas slowly dissolve, it is beginning to be taken seriously as a psychiatric medicine.

Her death at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles remains one of the most mysterious cases in public consciousness.
The chilling details of this story might shake you to your core—read at your own risk.
To this day, no one knows for sure how she died. She was last seen at the hotel, and a creepy surveillance video showing her strange behavior before she disappeared has only raised more questions.
A thread🧵
On January 26, 2013, Elisa Lam arrived in Los Angeles. She had taken an Amtrak train from San Diego and was on her way to Santa Cruz as part of a solo trip along the West Coast. The trip was meant to be a break from her studies at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, where she lived.
Her family was worried about her traveling alone, but Elisa insisted on traveling solo. To ease their concerns, she promised to call them every day to let them know she was okay.
That’s why it seemed strange when her parents didn’t hear from her on January 31, the day she was supposed to check out of the Cecil Hotel (now renamed Stay on Main) in Los Angeles. Worried, they contacted the Los Angeles Police Department. The police searched the hotel but couldn’t find her.

Seymour Cray, "the Father of Supercomputing", claimed that Elves often helped him overcome computer design problems.
Seeking a way to cool the machine he built in 1985, at the time the fastest computer in the world, he characteristically chose to immerse it in artificial blood.
Although never a household name, Seymour Cray was a legendary figure in the computing world. His designs for supercomputers were ingenious to the point of miraculous, and the machines he designed and built were, for much of the 60s, 70s and 80s, the most powerful -- and the most expensive -- on the planet.
Cray was born in 1925, in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and from an early age was fascinated with radios, motors, and electrical circuits. After a spell in the US Army, he graduated with a Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and a Master's in applied mathematics.
A thread about a never-before-heard story.🧵
At his University instructor's suggestion, Cray went to work at a small company building specialized cryptographic equipment for the US Navy. The unlikely home of the company was a converted factory for manufacturing wooden gliders.
It was here that Cray designed his first computer, the 1103. "My guiding principle was simplicity", he said, and throughout his career, this remained the focus of his design philosophy. He was building RISC machines long before IBM coined the term in the 1970s.
In 1957, Cray and some others left to start Control Data Corporation, and it was here that Cray designed the 1604, one of the world's first fully-transistorised computers. The age of the vacuum tube was over.
This Man has apparently seen Death 4 times, been clinically Dead three times, and witnessed what lies beyond Death. This is what he has to say about what comes next and how we will feel the emotions of everyone we have ever encountered.
Dannion Brinkley was struck twice by lightning, his first NDE happened in 1975 and is the most complete Near Death Experience on record! Dannion is an International best selling author and his books include Saved By The Light.
Dannion Brinkley says that he has died three times, each during a surgery: once after open-heart surgery, once after brain surgery, and again after another open-heart surgery.
In these situations, he was clinically dead for a short period, meaning his heart stopped, and he wasn't breathing, but doctors revived him each time. He clarifies that while he was on a machine to keep him alive, he doesn't consider that "death" but rather a "near-death experience" because he was resuscitated.
The story of the prophet Ezekiel is one of the more fascinating, especially when looked at through the lens of modern technology.
Some people suggest that, instead of gods, ancient humans may have actually been visited by an advanced race. This idea, called the ancient astronaut theory, suggests that Ezekiel’s “vision” of a wheeled chariot, or Merkabah, could actually have been a spaceship from an advanced species.
One of the biggest supporters of this theory is Erich von Däniken. He argues that the Book of Ezekiel could be understood differently in this light, so much so that his ideas even changed the view of a NASA scientist who originally set out to disprove them.
Keep reading, it is a Thread!🧵
Erich von Däniken, a Swiss author famous for his "ancient astronaut" theories (particularly in his book Chariots of the Gods), met Josef F. Blumrich, a NASA engineer. The meeting is said to have occurred in the 1970s, where von Däniken presented his idea that Ezekiel's vision in the Bible might have been a description of an alien spacecraft rather than a divine chariot.

Forget Life After Death... These Women And Others Claim They Can Remember Living In A Spiritual Realm While Their Souls Were Getting Ready To Enter A Human Body And Be Sent To Earth through a Vortex.
Some people on social media, calling themselves 'psychics,' say they remember their soul traveling through a 'pre-birth tunnel' before entering their bodies.
People who believe in these 'pre-birth' experiences think that we are spiritual souls first, before being sent to Earth to live a life according to a 'contract.'
While talking to the dead is a common claim, those who believe in pre-birth consciousness say it helps them connect with people who aren't born yet.
They don’t always remember being alive before birth, but some believe their future children spoke to them in dreams before they even knew they were pregnant. Others say they've seen their future grandchildren in vivid dreams.
Some even claim that we 'choose' our life before coming to Earth, including our parents, culture, and gender.
It's a Thread!🧵
Dr. Christine Dolahan "Rebirth Experience"
She describes her "rebirth experience" as a vivid journey through a spiritual dimension. She begins by recalling walking through a space that was hard to define but felt both concrete and yet not.
This space was full of vibrant energy and color, especially bright pink and white hues, and it felt warm and beautiful, bringing her a sense of peace and comfort. In this space, she noticed what appeared to be buildings, which she believes were training facilities for souls.
These buildings were places where souls prepared for their lives on Earth, studying spiritual matters and making plans for their upcoming lifetimes.
Stephen Hawking gave up on the idea of reality at the end of his career. He came to the conclusion that we create the world we see in our minds, and we have no idea of knowing what reality is really like. Incredible that even he gave up on discovering the truth.
Paul Hoyningen-Huene, a philosopher from Leibniz University, shares a clear explanation of why Stephen Hawking (1942–2018) stopped pursuing a theory of everything (ToE). In his 2010 book with Leonard Mlodinow, The Grand Design, he criticizes Hawking for abandoning the search for truth.
An interesting Thread🧵
"In 2012 Stephen Hawking abandoned belief in the ability of science to describe reality, in favour of a model-dependent account of truth. We tend to think it is the job of scientists to discover truths about the universe. Yet, Hawking rendered this an impossible task and came to argue that truth is an illusion. For Hawking, in the end, there was no idea of reality that made any sense. All we have are our models."

These Men Explain That Your Dreams and Thoughts Are No Longer Safe. They claim that all our 'Dreams' and 'Thoughts' can be Decoded—imagine what authoritarian states could do with such power. AI can even read Wi-Fi radio signals bouncing around a space to create 3D image estimations.
Tristan Harris (Right) and Aza Raskin (Left) are the co-founders of the Center for Humane Technology which aims to warn people about how technology affects individuals, organizations, and society. It looks for ways to manage these effects, encourages leaders to take action, and offers resources for those interested in humane technology.
FYI: Harris was Google's Design Ethicist, developing a framework for how technology should “ethically” steer the thoughts and actions of billions of people from screens. Raskin is a trained mathematician and dark matter physicist. He is the son of Jef Raskin, a human–computer interface expert who was the initiator of the Macintosh project at Apple.
In May 2023, Harris & Raskin attended Summit At Sea where they discussed how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world.
This video educated me about the serious consequences we might face if greater control over advanced AI models—specifically generative models like Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs)—isn't implemented.
🧵A thread to blow your mind.
Tristan Harris explains the complex terms behind "generative large language multimodal models" (AI models that handle language and images). To make things simpler, he suggests calling them "Golems." This is inspired by the Golem in Jewish mythology—a creature that comes to life and gains unexpected abilities, much like these AI models. As more data is fed to them, they start displaying new skills even their creators didn’t anticipate.
Although many AI demos look different on the surface, they often function in similar ways. For example, tools like Stable Diffusion or DALL-E let users type words to generate images. If you type "Google soup," the model turns it into a picture. However, Raskin points out that these "Golems" don’t truly “understand” what they’re doing; they process information without real comprehension of meaning.

This Man Claims We May Live At The Center Of A Cosmic Void 2 Billion Light-Years Wide That Defies The Laws Of Cosmology. A growing list of observations suggests we live in the crosshairs of a giant cosmic void — the largest ever observed.
Astronomers first suggested such a void in 2013 and evidence for its existence has been stacking up ever since.
We may live in a void that shouldn't exist.
🧵
According to a fundamental theory of cosmology named the cosmological principle, matter in the universe should be uniformly distributed on very large scales.
This idea is important because it allows scientists to use the same laws of physics for objects near us and those far away, even at the edges of the early universe. Basically, everything follows the same universal rules.
This approach helps us study and understand the universe better and suggests that large empty spaces, like the one we might live in, shouldn’t really exist.
However, many observations in the last ten years indicate that matter in the universe may actually gather in areas of high and low density, which means it might not be as evenly distributed as we thought.
The image below shows The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) made the largest 3D map of our universe to date. This sliver of the cosmos shows its high- and low- density regions.
This Man Says There Is A Switch In The Human Body To Make A 100-Year-Old Young Again. He says he can create sperm and an egg from human skin cells, fertilize them, and clone a human. He claimed to have created Mini-human brains in his lab that are aged artificially to mimic 80-year-old brains, and they show signs of diseases like dementia and Alzheimer's.
David Sinclair, a Harvard biologist, said he and his team found a way to reverse aging in the eyes of mice, suggesting that it could also happen in humans.
In 2022, Sinclair and his team at Harvard Medical School published their findings, in which they believe that epigenetic changes—and not just changes to the DNA—affect aging.
They discovered a way to "reset" the age of a mouse's eye using three specific genes (— Oct4, Sox2, and Klf4, together named OSK). By reprogramming the eye, they were able to reverse its age by 80%, helping the mice regain their vision.
Sinclair believes that this means there might be a way to make older people feel young again because the information needed to be young is still in the body.
A thread to reset human body age!🧵
Repost, Likes, Quotes, and Comments, would be helpful for me to keep creating for you guys. Thanks
David Sinclair mentions that they found a "universal reset switch," which means they can apply this technique to other parts of the human body, like skin and muscles. Essentially, they are turning on a program that makes older cells act younger. He believes that one day it might be possible to reset the age of the entire body, and they have already succeeded in mice. Now, they are focused on how soon they can do this for humans.

This Man Proved Time Is An Illusion. In 1972 he entered a cave chamber 440 feet below the ground, alone and isolated from any natural light & clocks. For six months he removed from all time references which led to his discovery of a human time warp and slowing down time. He found that without time cues, several people including himself adjusted to a 48-hour rather than a 24-hour cycle.
In 1962, a French scientist named Michel Siffre lived alone in a cave for two months, with no clock, calendar, or sunlight. He only slept and ate when he felt like it, to see how living without time would affect the body's natural rhythms. Over the next ten years, he set up more than twelve similar experiments. In 1972, he went back into a cave in Texas for six months. His work helped start the study of human biological clocks.
A thread to slow your body time🧵
Michel Siffre was a trained geologist. In 1961, he discovered an underground glacier in the Alps and initially planned to spend fifteen days studying it. However, he later decided that two months would be more useful to understand it better. During this time, he wanted to live like an animal, without a watch, in the dark, and without knowing what time it was.
Instead of just studying caves, he ended up studying time. He created a scientific method by putting a team at the entrance of the cave to call him when he woke up, ate, and went to sleep. His team was not allowed to contact him, so he wouldn't know the outside time. Through this experiment, he unintentionally developed the field of human chronobiology. He noted that, similar to rats, which were known to have an internal biological clock since 1922, humans also have a body clock.
