To prove that time doesn't exist, scientists let a woman live in a cave for 13 days. What's the result?

Space is matter and changing matter, and time is a quantitative definition of man-made matter, which is a characteristic artificially attached to matter and 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 once designed an experiment when he was alive. At that time, he arranged balloons, champagne and prepared delicious food at home, and also wrote a big slogan with seven Chinese characters, "Welcome time travelers". Hawking believes that the traveler is real. Although no traveler came in the end, Hawking came to the conclusion that time is virtual. In addition to Hawking's experiment, NASA scientists in the United States also conducted a time experiment. At that time, they chose an Italian woman to live alone in a cave for a year to see if it could prove that time does not exist.

Scientists selected an Italian woman, 27 years old, named Fligny, from 2 registered volunteers. Her occupation is interior designer, and her work and rest are very regular, and her physical and psychological qualities are relatively strong. After a physical examination, the scientist took the woman to a cave. This cave is 3 meters above the ground, but don't worry, it has been transformed into a warm hut by scientists. Although it can't touch the ground, it has plenty of oxygen and delicious food, and there are many musical instruments and books to pass the time.

In order to make this woman live comfortably, some scientists installed a computer in the room, but there was no time on this computer and there was no clock on the wall of the room, so this woman 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.

After the preparation, the experiment officially started in 1989. This Italian woman has been living in the cave for 13 days. What was the final result? At first, this woman's life was very rich and her work and rest were normal. She would kill time by reading books and playing musical instruments. With the passage of time, her mentality has become more and more violent, and her life has become upside down day and night. Sometimes she feels that the time has passed by one day, but in fact it has only passed a few hours.

towards the end of the experiment, the woman's physical fitness is getting worse and worse, and she is all bony. In order to ensure the safety of life, scientists had to stop the experiment. When she finally came out, she looked pale and lost 7 pounds. Although this woman recovered well in the end, the experiment didn't make much sense. Time is still slipping away. If human beings lose their sense of time, they will also face life threats. What do you think of this experiment?

Modern people's life is very busy every day. Eating, studying, going to work and working overtime are almost full all day, which makes people feel a little restless. 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 a matter of time arrangement. Only by staggering these things in time according to the order can they look so clear.

so what is the time?

In modern science, time is a measure of the movement of an object, and it is a ruler. In 218, at the metrology conference, people made a new definition of time: the duration of 9,192,631,77 cycles of radiation corresponding to the transition between the two ultra-fine energy levels of the undisturbed cesium -133 atom is one second.

The definition looks really complicated, but there is nothing we can do about it, because the predecessors have set a day as 24 hours, and this time has long been adapted to the life of both the scientific community and ordinary people, and there is no way to change it greatly. For example, if we change a day to 2 hours, it may bring great chaos to the whole world.

so now we can only go along the track designed by our predecessors, and then make a more accurate correction 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 have doubts about this, so they have done many experiments. In 197, British scientists Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose proved time according to the general theory of relativity: time began in BIGBANG and then lasted until the end of the black hole.

But this conclusion can't be tested in practice. After all, both 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.

In 1989, NASA and an Italian academic institution did a relatively direct experiment. They put people in a closed cave to see if people's lives would be affected if they were isolated 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 small closed space, which may have some physical effects for a long time, so this experiment is still very important for NASA.

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

after a lot of screening, NASA finally selected a 28-year-old woman named Stefania Foligni from 2 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 the room of about 2 square meters.

After that, Foligni stayed underground and entered a state of isolation. Because she didn't know the outside time, 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 was able to roughly judge the time by feeling, and her physical condition didn't change much. But after a long time, her life pattern is a bit chaotic. She often wakes up and doesn't know how long she has slept. She is in a trance and her body begins 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 the 13th day, NASA announced the termination of the experiment and took the human out.

The experiment was well prepared by NASA. Foligni has all kinds of living materials, and Foligni won't have fear when he stays in the cave alone, knowing that there are guards outside, which will affect the experimental results. It can be said that he has prepared everything, but he has no time.

The experimental results made under such circumstances should be very close to the truth. And the result is also obvious. After being deprived of the perception 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's like a knife, it keeps 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.
