About 15 years back they did a study with humans, where the put them in a deep cave and deprived them of all indications of time. The purpose was to learn what the human internal clock cycle is. The result (confirmed by multiple subjects) was a little over 25 hours. Now this seems rather strange to me. Why a little over 25 hours? I would think that if it was a genetic coding that it would be less than 24, since the earth has slowed down. Could it be we came from a planet long long ago with a cycle of 25 hours? Or will something wonderful happen when the earth and man come into sync.? Just a thought, I think originated with a late night "Carbon Dioxide College" session and cannabis.
