Does the ocean freak anyone else out?!!

[Random.Human]

Force= Pressure x Area

The larger the surface area of the animal the more force it would be subjected to. Size is all relative though, huge creatures could be adapted to that much pressure.

Right now we're all subjected to about 14.7psi but we don't even percieve that.

wouldnt a body that has a greater concentration on water in it and that takes in O2 through gills allow the pressures to be equalized? IE: fill a balloon full of water and send it down 5000ft, fill it with air and it ruptures after a few ft

If I was a betting man, I'd probably put a few dollars on there being a lot of water down there actually.

I'm not sure that balloon would rupture since it's being compressed equally on all sides.

If you mean wouldn't the internal pressure of the animal equal the external pressure of the water kinda balancing each other out, then sort of.

If we have a ton of pressure on the outside, and an equal internal pressure, our bones would still be crushed under all that pressure.

Apparantly we've been down there brahs.

The Swiss-designed, Italian-built, United States Navy bathyscaphe Trieste reached the bottom at 1:06 p.m. on January 23, 1960, with U.S. Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard on board.[2] Iron shot was used for ballast, with gasoline for buoyancy.[2] The onboard systems indicated a depth of 11,521 m (37,799 ft), but this was later revised to 10,916 m (35,814 ft).[9] At the bottom, Walsh and Piccard were surprised to discover soles or flounder about 30 cm (1 ft) long,[10] as well as a shrimp.[1] According to Piccard, "The bottom appeared light and clear, a waste of firm diatomaceous ooze".[10]

Only three descents have ever been achieved. The first was the manned descent by Trieste in 1960. This was followed by the unmanned ROVs Kaikō in 1995 and Nereus in 2009. These three expeditions directly measured very similar depths of 10,902 to 10,916 m.

lol, swiss and italian? $50 says that thing leaked oil and wouldnt start while cold

There is probably nothing big down there since there wouldn't be enough for it to eat.

I would say some where in the middle is where the real scary ****s are, like giant squids.

they've probably been there many times. and are possibly keeping all the details to themselves..

Why? Brb hiding certain types of fish from the public

[The_Realist]

why would it light up? is it because it has eyes and it aids it to see? why would the light be different colors?? so many questions

The sound, traced to somewhere around 50° S 100° W (a remote point in the south Pacific Ocean west of the southern tip of South America), was detected repeatedly by the Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array, which uses U.S. Navy equipment originally designed to detect Soviet submarines.

According to the NOAA description, it "rises rapidly in frequency over about one minute and was of sufficient amplitude to be heard on multiple sensors, at a range of over 5,000 km." NOAA's system ruled out its origin as any known man-made sound, such as a submarine or bomb, or familiar geological sounds such as volcanoes or earthquakes. While the audio profile of the bloop does resemble that of a living creature, the system identified it as unknown because it was far too loud for that to have been the case: it was several times louder than the loudest known biological sound.

Dr. Fox was paraphrased speculating it was likely animal in origin.

People have pointed out that the location the sound originated within 500 miles from the location of R'lyeh in the South Pacific, thus coincidentally linking the sound to the sleeping Great Old One Cthulhu

holy ****

[ilikebeer]

mass amounts of deep underwater bases inhabited by extra terrestrials.

[endofdays89]

I don't know, but there is some weird **** in the ocean. How can something big live down that far though, impossible.

No not at all let me tell you why through poetry

ehem:
cats ass rats ass dirty old twat 69 deuschbags tied in a knot
cocksucker mother****er dickielicker to im a ****ing scuba diver
who the **** are you?

cause i love diving.

[someonefat]

How the fukin **** is it possible for anything to be alive with 16000lbs of force pressing on you in all directions.

fish on that der cell tech

yeah thats what always thought years and years ago before could go very deep at all, and well we continue to find life deeper and deeper we go.

I would think all the dead carcasses of all the marine life and other biological waste that sinks to the bottom from the top would be quite substantial.

Unfortunately I'm old enough that I saw JAWS in the theater when it was originally released. I was like 8 or 9 years old. Scared the living sh!t outta me and I am not ashamed one bit to admit that I do not like going into the ocean. I don't mind messing around the shore but screw swimming out in deep water.

A friend and I were in Clearwater one summer, we were about 17, and he said "Let's swim out to the buoy" I was like "Yeah, it's not that far" so off we went. When I got out there I turned around and the beach looked like it was a hundred miles away. I dropped my feet down, and you know how it gets colder a few feet under the water, well, I dropped my feet down, felt a ****load of nothing, freaked the fkk out and I gotta tell ya, Jesus himself wouldn't have been able to walk on water as well as I did. I made a bee line back to that beach. I'm willing to bet I set a world speed record. hahaha!!! Fkk that! I hate swimming in the ocean. Boats are fine. Don't bother me one bit. Not sure if I'd be comfortable not being able to see land though.

lol
dont really find the ocean scary

it'd be neat to find new life forms with crazy survivalskills that we could somehow learn from

dudee haha same shti happaned to me, land seemed SO ****en far away i swam the **** back hella fast

[Zealv3]

I'm not a huge fan of swimming in the open ocean around here. You can't even see your feet when you're floating there, who knows whats underneath you? FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Sonic06]

Bigger Jaws is down there, also WAY Bigger Jaws.

[operationwhey]

i got a quick question, how is it that we've only discovered 10% of the goddam ocean when we've already been to the deepest point there is?
seems to me **** should be relatively easy now?
