Question

3. What experiment did Michel Siffre


conduct? What was its outcome?


From the science journalism of the most forgetful man in the world from moonwalking with Einstein

Answer 1

Answer:

Michel Sifre was a French chronobiologist who studied the relationship between time and living organisms. He conducted a self-experimentation in 1962.

In his experimentation, he spent two months living in total isolation in a cave - had no acess to calendar, clock or even sun. In a short while, his memory deteriorated since there was no one to talk to, no book to read to impress itself upon his memory. It got to a point, he stopped being able to remember what took place a day before. As the days went by, Sifre became effectively amnesic, he could not sleep very - he would stay awake for thirty-six straight hours in some days. The outcome of his self-experimentation was severe.

By the time his experimentation was to wrap up in September 14, it was only August 20 in his journal. He only thought a month has just passed.

Answer 2

He conducted an experiment that tested the effects of extreme isolation on an organism. The results were extreme and very impactful for Michel Siffre.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• Michel Siffre wanted to analyze the effects of extreme isolation in an organism.
• To do this, he isolated himself in a cave, where he was alone, with nothing but lanterns, a cabin, and his diary.
• Isolation caused Michel Siffre to completely lose track of time.
• He began to forget things very easily, became depressed, and had pain all over his body, especially in his back.
• he also suffered severe sleep deprivation, which aggravated the results on his body.

Michel Siffre claims that he regretted this experiment in some moments, but he did another similar experiment at the request of the American space agency.
