Cave slogan

Space is matter and changing matter, and time is the quantitative definition of man-made matter, which is man-made and endowed with material characteristics, and is immaterial. Are two different concepts. That was a stupid experiment. The universe and all processes in the universe are time. Of course, out of the universe is another matter.

Hawking designed an experiment when he was alive. At that time, he decorated balloons and champagne at home, prepared delicious food, and wrote a big slogan with seven Chinese characters, "Welcome Time Traveler". Hawking believes that travelers are real. Although no travelers came in the end, Hawking came to the conclusion that time is virtual. In addition to Hawking's experiment, NASA scientists also conducted a time experiment. At that time, they chose an Italian woman to live alone in the cave for a year to see if they could prove that time did not exist.

Among the 20 registered volunteers, the scientists chose a 27-year-old Italian woman named Fligny. She is an interior designer by profession, with a regular schedule and strong physical and psychological qualities. After the physical examination, the scientist took the woman to a cave. This cave is 30 meters above the ground, but don't worry, it has been transformed into a warm hut by scientists. Although you can't touch the ground, there is plenty of oxygen, delicious food and many musical instruments and books to pass the time.

In order to make the lady live comfortably, some scientists installed a computer in the room, but there was no time on the computer and there was no clock on the wall of the room, so the lady didn't know how long the time had passed. The camera installed by scientists in this hut can pay attention to the situation of this woman in real time, which means that this woman has no privacy in front of scientists.

When it is ready, the experiment of 1989 officially begins. This Italian woman has lived in the cave for 130 days. So what is the final result? At first, this woman's life was rich and her work and rest were normal. She will kill time by reading books and playing musical instruments. As time went on, her mentality became more and more violent and her life became upside down day and night. Sometimes she thinks it's been a day, but it's only been a few hours.

At the end of the experiment, the woman's physique is getting worse and worse, and the whole person is skinny. In order to ensure the safety of life, scientists have to stop the experiment. When she finally came out, she looked pale and lost 7 pounds. Although the woman finally recovered well, the experiment didn't make much sense. Time is still passing. If human beings lose their sense of time, they will also face life threats. What do you think of this experiment?

The life of modern people is very busy every day. Eating, studying, going to work and working overtime are almost full all day, which makes people feel a little reluctant to stop. However, although there are many things, there is no confusion at all, and everything is going on in an orderly way.

In fact, this is mainly due to the arrangement of time. Only by staggering these things in order in time can we see them so clearly.

So what is time?

In modern science, time refers to the measurement of object motion, and it is a ruler. In 20 18 years, people made a new definition of time at the metrology conference: the duration of two ultra-fine energy level transitions corresponding to 9 192, 63 1 770 radiation periods is one second.

The definition looks really complicated, but there is nothing we can do, because the predecessors have set a day as 24 hours, which has long been adapted to the life of both scientific and ordinary people and there is no way to change it greatly. For example, if we change the day to 20 hours, it may bring great chaos to the whole world.

So now we can only go along the track designed by predecessors, and then make more accurate corrections on this basis. The second time corresponding to this cesium-133 atom is closer to the standard value of 24 hours a day, so it is used as a reference.

But this definition means that time doesn't exist, the time we are using now is only artificially defined, and everything about time is also our illusion?

Scientists also have doubts about this, so they have done many experiments. 1970, British scientists Stephen Hawking and roger penrose proved time according to the general theory of relativity: time begins with the Big Bang and then lasts until the end of the black hole.

But there is no way to test this conclusion. After all, the big bang and the black hole are too far away from us. So there are still many people who continue to study time after them.

1989, NASA and an Italian academic institution made a relatively direct experiment. They put people in a closed cave to see if their lives would be affected if they were cut off from the outside world and had no time.

NASA mainly studies aviation and often sends astronauts to land in space. In space, astronauts can only stay in a narrow confined space, which may have some physical effects after a long time, so this experiment is still very important for NASA.

The experiment started in June, 1989, 1. Although this experiment looks a little scary, it may be because they have enough funds, and many people have signed up for it.

After a lot of screening, NASA finally chose a 28-year-old woman named Stefania Foligni from 20 volunteers. She is an interior designer in Italy, and NASA chose her mainly because of her self-discipline and psychological quality.

After a series of physical examinations, NASA took her to an underground cave about ten meters deep in New Mexico. This cave has been decorated in advance, and some daily necessities and experimental equipment have already been put into a room of about 20 square meters.

After that, Foligni stayed underground and entered a state of isolation. Because she didn't know the time outside, she couldn't tell the difference between day and night, but she didn't give up her daily habits and still insisted on reading books and making some decorations.

At first, she could judge the time roughly by feeling, and her physical condition didn't change much. But after a long time, her lifestyle became a bit chaotic. She often wakes up and doesn't know how long she has slept. She was in a trance and began to lose weight.

In the later period, her face became paler and her physical condition became worse and worse, and even her menstruation stopped. The whole person has completely lost the concept of time.

For the sake of her health, on day130th, NASA announced the termination of the experiment and took people out.

This experiment was carefully prepared by NASA. Foligni has all kinds of means of subsistence, and Foligni knows that there are guards outside, so he is not afraid to stay alone in the cave and affect the experimental results. It can be said that he is ready for everything, but he has no time.

The experimental results made under such circumstances should be very close to the truth. And the results are obvious. Deprived of the sense of time, the life order is completely chaotic, and it is difficult for people to survive.

In short, although time is abstract and intangible, it does exist. It is like a knife, constantly scratching on people, and the system of time is like a counter. You can check how many knives you have been cut at any time through this system. When you lose this perception, people will have various symptoms because of anxiety.
