    Re: Cameron at the bottom of the Mariana Trench

    This seemed to have nothing to do with this thread so of course I had to post it.

    Impressed? Ahhhh....not yet. Get back to me when/if he takes Celine (sp?) Dion down there next time and talks her into getting out of the sub and doing a sea floor walk in an effort to inspire her next song.

    You'd implode, so you'd be about the size of a tennis ball (I'd imagine) in about 1/4 second. Does that make it better?

    Re: Cameron at the bottom of the Mariana Trench

    looks like how i expected it, lol. I'm curious to know how the pressurization works and how long it takes for him to safely come back up to the surface. Can he go up at normal speed or does he have to stop at certain depths for a few minutes like SCUBA?

    Actually, since your body is composed of almost 3/4 water, you wouldn't really shrink that much. You would get crushed by the pressure, but probably only about 1/4 smaller.
