Fourteen people spent 40 days without natural sunlight or clocks. The experiment was part of Deep Time's project to better understand how humans adapt to loosing all sense of time.

But in his latest adventure, he found himself in a cave with a dozen or so other people and no way to tell the time. “It was a bit difficult for the first time to wake up and you just don’t know what time is it,” Clot says. “And yo...

WATCH: 15 People Spent 40 Days In Cave With No Phones And No Clocks And They Want To Do It Again!     A group of 15 people just emerged from a cave in France after spending six weeks without phones, watches or any natural light whatsoever.   This group was dedicated and committed enough to do this as part of an investigative study to establish the effects of extreme isolation.     The ‘Deep Time’ study saw them set up residence in the Lombrives cave in the Pyrenees Mountains south of Toulouse.       During this time the group had no contact with outside world including updates abo...

Study Summarizes Research on Plastic Waste in Marine, Sedimentary Environments A new focus article published in the latest issue of the Geology journal outlines the study on plastic waste in sedimentary and marine surroundings. Pollutants, including plastic, reach deep-sea fans through linked sediment routing systems, as well as from outside the associated catchment(s), via near-shore and shelfal currents (that is, littoral cells), eolian transport, surface currents, and direct input from oceanic sources such as shipping and fishing.
