00:00In 1962, French geologist Michael Siffre spent two months in an underground cave.
00:08He did this to learn more about our biological clock and perception of time.
00:15Michael lived underground without a clock, calendar or sun,
00:20eating and sleeping based only on his internal sensation.
00:25To check the result of the experiment, Siffre set up a camp for his colleague at the entrance to the cave.
00:35He signaled when he woke up, ate and went to bed.
00:40As a result of the experiment, Michael's internal clock switched to a 48-hour mode.
00:48This day became twice as long.
00:53If we tried to count two minutes, it turned out to be almost five.
00:59And when it was time to end the experiment, Siffre was sure that only half of it had passed.
