In 2020, the coronavirus struck the world.
In April, global lockdowns left 4.5 billion people, nearly half the world's population, stranded in their homes.
As lockdowns and lockdowns, social distancing and further lockdowns have been repeated, we have been left with no clear sense of where we stand, how we should act, or what the future holds.
How should we humans coexist in a completely changed world? That's when I became certain.
An experiment was conducted in which several people were trapped in a specific space and lost the concept of time.
Experiments on living in isolation have already been conducted several times, but humans are fundamentally unable to live alone.
A study was needed to see how teams could be locked in a room and what effect this experience had on the modern brain.

There are three concepts we particularly want to understand through deep time:
The first is a mechanism for adapting to a new environment where one has no concept of time and where everything is unfamiliar and completely different from the usual.
The second is the human ability to perceive time through cognitive functions and biological rhythms.
The third question is whether groups that have forgotten the concept of time gradually show similar biological rhythms.
To study this, we are looking at various fields surrounding humans, from cognitive abilities to genetics, general biology to cardiology, and emotional recognition to posture analysis.

For me, this adventure is synonymous with hope.
Humans' hearts race when they think of hope, no less than when they think of passion.
We humans want to build something and explore the future.
Humans dream the same dream.
---From "Humanity Needs More Than Bread: The Birth of Leisure"

The time we perceive is somewhat ambiguous compared to absolute time.
Humans fundamentally depend on time to survive.
Humans have no control over time at all.
The three basic needs of humans and other living things are biological needs (breathing, drinking, eating, and resting), the gravity system, and time.
If the first biological need is eliminated, humans cannot prolong life.
A human being dies within minutes if he or she does not breathe, after about 60 hours if he or she does not drink, within a few days if he or she does not sleep, and within about 30 days if he or she does not eat.
The loss of the second gravity system may not result in immediate death, but it will cause problems with cell growth and bodily function development.
These problems can arise when you are exposed to weightlessness while traveling in space or staying on a space station like the MIR or ISS.
Finally, the third element, if time runs out… .
It is not known what effect this has on humans.

The biggest change is that from the twenty-fifth cycle onwards, the deep timers' biological rhythms have become much more similar, making it easier for them to work together.
This is what I was hoping for.
Deep timers continue to sleep and wake up at their own rhythm, but no one forces them to wake up.
However, compared to the beginning, there is no significant difference in the patterns of each person's sleeping and waking up time.
Of course, there are always cases where one person is awake while everyone else is asleep, but unlike the beginning, it's not that different, so it's easier to work together.
This is why we can start small-scale joint activities.
In fact, humans are social animals.
We humans need each other and we need diversity.
This is something you should never forget.
---From "Does a Society Without Labor Exist?: Maintaining Society"

Deep timers experienced their circadian rhythms gradually becoming more similar to each other.
This shows that humans are influenced by the community.
Since coordinating paces is essential for the survival of a community while living in a group, if a problem arises here, everyone can easily fall into chaos.
The coronavirus pandemic has lasted longer than we anticipated, and the isolation and isolation that has prevented contact with one another has led to a breakdown in the unity of these groups. During the quarantine period, people have lost their sense of time, and society has fallen into a state of lethargy.

In isolation, we are unable to form a stable common flow due to the influence of our surroundings, whether family, friends, or colleagues.
Screens and isolation, our only connection to others, create a personal biological rhythm that is no longer in sync with the rhythm of the scattered group.
Humans fundamentally need other people.
The presence of others is not only necessary mentally.
Our biological clocks need physical contact with other people to find balance within a communal system.
As our society increasingly embraces screens and technology to communicate, we need to consider the need for physical contact.
---From "The Average is Nothing: The Occurrence of Parallax"

Deep time holds many memories: scientific experiments and adventures, breathtaking landscapes, fear and sadness, but one key realization stands out.
The truth is that if humans cooperate with each other and bring diverse ideas, visions, and lives to help others, they can adapt anywhere.
Everything can change.
Even the concept of time can be momentarily eliminated.
If we work together, we can create a new world.
We humans are very resilient beings who can adapt to any conditions.
How unfortunate it would be if people fought and rejected each other when they could be cooperating to build the future!
