In 1931 Auguste Piccard ascended ten miles into the troposphere above
Augsburg in the enclosed gondola of a balloon. In
1960, his son Jacques descended ten miles into the Challenger Deep off Guam in a bathyscaphe. Between these points in time and space, man is observed groping in luminous darkness.
