From Philippe Delamare, the leader in the GSC, thoughts on experiencing time when on a long solo journey:

However, time seems to be stretching a bit long but it’s always the same: no matter the length, the last weeks always seem the longest. This was to be expected…

We therefore observe a distortion of time which, according to the law of General Relativity, is measured in chocolate bars and packets of consumed cakes (but I won’t go back on this, you know me). In the case of these past few days, space-time is very, very curved because chocolate disappears at the speed… OF LIGHT of course (pay a little attention to what you’re told at the back of the class!)
