Cave scientist Siffre delayed emerging from six month test
French scientist Michel Siffre, after six months underground to study human time perception, waited for expedition leader Gerard Cappa to return from a ranch delaying his return above ground. The scene near Del Rio saw his wife Nathalie in tears as officials and supporters gathered. Siffre’s project, backed by French and NASA, used constant monitoring, with thousands of tests measuring sleep, heart rate, temperature, and fatigue. The study aims to inform long ocean voyages, space missions, and sub crews, though results remain to be fully analyzed.
