Fascinating clip from the BBC Horizon programme Total Isolation. Watch more high quality videos on the BBC Worldwide YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/bbcworldwide

@evilscotsmin Professors don't sit on some pedestal spewing their immutable truths to the world, they're people and they're fallible. I wish people would stop ranking knowledge and information on the individual that it comes from. It should be ranked purely on it's value in its own right; its accuracy and applicability. My comment anyway wasn't serious...

i have to admit, even i had a mini heart attack when that scientist suddenly spoke. the way her eyes looked, i thought she was hallucinating.

All humans are social creatures, we need company friends or animal companions, no surprise from this experiment

I would just love being in solitary! the quietness, no lights. it would be so peaceful I would be able to think and think. I'd love it!

I would actually pay for this. they should do something like this in japan.
