Akula Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Though the operational and crush depth of a US Navy submarine is classified, I can tell you. It aint this deep. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/09/11/underwater.submersible/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Melanie Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 That is awesome. It drives me nuts that we know more about whats in space than whats on our own planet. I cant wait to see what gets discovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Melanie Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Why am I wrong? Size of the area to be explored? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 wouldn't decompression be a issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 No, decompression isn't an issue. You breathe air at standard atmospheric pressure for sea level. It isn't open circuit. I have done an emergency blow from 800 feet, my ears didn't even pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHaze Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Why am I wrong? Size of the area to be explored? Does it really need to be explained? Here's for starters: there are at least hundreds of billions of galaxies in the known universe. It would take 100,000 years to cross our own galaxy traveling at the speed of light. Here's some more fun: ~90% of the universe is made up of dark matter. Dark matter is just hypothetical matter that modern science cannot yet grasp.

I see your point but still think we should know more about our own planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I wouldn't tell that to too many people. why not? Its the unclassified operational depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro1647545510 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 why not? Its the unclassified operational depth. Think along the lines of a blow job and you will catch his joke.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey2721 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 that thing is sweet looking. would love to take it on a test drive. hopefully it helps with learning more about the giant squid. although, i don't know if i would want to confront a full grown giant squid in that thing. also, would love to see some new deep water species discovered. there may be more pre-historic fish down there. despite the argument above. there is still a lot down there that we haven't been able to get to, or see. the majority of the ocean is un-mapped and hasn't been explored.

We can grasp it, and we can explain it mathematically. Simpletons and religious nuts refuse to accept what it really is... which is matter from the other 8 dimensions. No joke.

Thats what Im talking about. Too much unexplored area on our own planet. The giant squids would really be interesting. Just recently a team of scientists put a camera on a giant squid and caught pics of a mega squid. It was on Discovery channel but havent watched it yet. If I can find it Ill let you know.
