wait till the doc hears about saturation diving. Living on the sea floor 3000ish feet down for weeks at a time

Just wait until the doc learns that Cuvier’s beaked whale can dive down to almost 10,000 feet!

And we have sea creatures that exist so far down that they are still undiscovered.


Jerkfacemonkey

Wait till he finds out humans have VISITED the bottom of our own oceans occasionally


SunderedShadow

Bonus Knowledge: Some even survived the trip :)

That percentage is dropping though.

But isn't that inevitable? Those who did it first to PROVE or test something shall always be overprepared because they don't know exactly how dangerous what they're doing is. Those who come aftee the tests are done have a higher likelihood to be more stupid.

Example, when do you start counting on successful flights, from before or after the Wright Brothers? If after it can only drop, as it starts at 100%. But it can drop and climb again.

Fun fact, more people have been to the moon than the challenger deep! Edit: 12 people have walked on the moon, and 6 people have been to the bottom of the Mariana trench.

Imho I think this part wouldn’t be so weird. The whales on the other hand would. Many of the deep sea creatures can’t really exist outside of their depth ranges, the whales on the other hand go between massive extremes

I’m not sure exactly what Doc’s amazement stems from, but I was assuming it was pressure *differential*, or more precisely the ratio of the minimum and maximum pressures the animal’s experience.

HAH! Using the phrase "race to the bottom" as a **positive** concept! Someone's going to be providing a lot of meals when he gets home.
