该研究计划将在春季开展,设计招募三组患有4期乳腺癌、病情稳定且正在接受激素治疗的妇女,每组24人。其中两个组将在墨西哥圣米格尔德阿连德的度假胜地集合,接受兰格和她手下研究人员的监管。实验组将“穿越”回2003年——也就是她们仍然身体健康,人生尚未被死亡阴影笼罩,对未来充满憧憬的年代——在这样的环境中生活一周。她们将被告知尽量做回当年的自己。度假区内部不会出现任何与当下有关的东西(就此而言,度假区外也将是这样)。生活区里摆放的将是世纪之交之时的杂志,还有《泰坦尼克号》(Titanic)和《谋杀绿脚趾》(The Big Lebowski)等电影DVD。圣米格尔德阿连德素以其附近具有神秘治愈能力的矿物温泉而著称,被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产(Unesco World Heritage Site),这里的许多建筑看起来与几百年前一样。兰格说:“该镇宛如一个时间胶囊。”(圣米格尔的另一组受试者将得到癌症病友的支持,但不会穿越回过去;第三组则不会受到任何研究干预。)
As with the original counterclockwise experiment, subjects will be tested before and after on relevant measures — in this case the size of their tumors and the levels of circulating proteins in their blood known to be made by cancer cells — in addition to variables like mood and energy and pain levels. The experimental group will bring with them the same kinds of primes that the New Hampshire men did, like photographs of their younger selves. “We won’t make them haul their bags up the stairs,” Langer says. But otherwise they will be nudged to do all they can for themselves.
