This is a Snailfish, they're found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench and can withstand pressures of at least 15,000 pounds per square inch.
With that in mind my question is, how would this creature (or any other animal capable of withstanding such high pressures) cope with being smashed by a hammer? Like because that's obviously a lot of pressure so if someone smashed it up with a hammer would it be OK?
Thanks in advance.

If you brought it up to sealevel then it would explode from within
external vs internal pressurization
The pressure affects it pretty much equally from all directions, as opposed to being smashed by a sledgehammer.

>implying their entire body isn't itself 15k psi internally.
A better question is if we raised babies in scuba suits at the bottom of the ocean would they become SUPER STRONG?
>>8131874
we can withstand several million tons of atmosphere crushing us
same principle
You could easily withstand 15,000 psi if your body didn't contain compressible gases.
psi is irrelevent when that pressure is distributed universally.

pressure =/= kinetic energy you dumb retard

it's about the difference between the two levels of pressure
if you assume that the average joe living at sea level has about 1 atm of pressure contained in his body on average, then going from 1 to 0 atm is no big deal; you won't blow up or anything.
however, water's much more dense than air; for every 10 meters you descend into the ocean, the pressure you'd experience would go up by 1 atm. so if your submersible window cracks at the bottom of a trench you'd be nearly vaporized, or if you were to reel up some deep-sea fish to your boat, it might die, or bloat, or even pop. all about that delta p

Isn't water an incompressible fluid? I would think it behaves quite differently from air.

Yeah, scientists never reached that though.
Anybody have the pic of the spongebro

Just stopping by to tell you that pounds per square inch is a retarded unit and you should stop using it

They're mostly made of water, water is mostly incompressible. Also internal pressure = external pressure.
It is really quite surprising the misconceptions you find about pressure on /sci/

So if I fart and burp a lot I can go to the bottom of the ocean and live?
