That's...
That's not how buoyancy works at all. 😅
Are you suggesting they would be more worried about the containers being stolen than their boat sinking from the giant hole in the bottom?
If this is a serious question... There is an infinitesimal chance of puncturing a vessel of that size while underneath it to plunder its hold's contents via the same hole — especially at the aforementioned tech level of the time.
Even if you could avoid detection in the process of completing the hole, anyone sent through to retrieve the loot would be crushed in transit and arrive aboard as some variation of a frothed bio jam — with or without the membrane that otherwise held them more or less together up until that point in their presumably harebrained life.
Wait, I’m confused. Assuming you were able to make the hole and seal some sort of connection a-la boarding in a spaceship in a sci-fi show, why would you be crushed in the process of boarding the ship?
Yeah, no idea what this guy is going on about. If the target ship is sufficently compartmentalised so that you don't lose buoyancy when just one of them is compromised, you don't even need any kind of seal. Just some diving gear.
Guess he must have gone to the school of movie physics or something.
🫣 😶
Stay in school, kids. 🥲
No, seriously. If you’re at or near the surface of the water, yeah there’s going to be some pressure, but nothing even close to the pressure needed to crush a human (ruling out water hammer and such since that wouldn’t reasonably be possible in such a situation.)
You’re aware things like the diving bell exist, right? And they deal with pressures many times the pressure we’re talking about here. Hell, you can free dive to the depths we are talking about, no equipment needed.
I'm sorry, do you have any concept of displacement? I'm having trouble pinpointing your level of cognitive disconnect, honestly.
If you take a submarine down 100 feet and open the hatch, you’re not going to die (from anything other than drowning or maybe your superior strangling you.) You’re at around 3 bar or 43.5 psi.
That’s literally at the low range of pressure that comes out of your tap.
Even at 200ft you’re looking at pressure that’s just barely enough to cause damage to your house plumbing, but nowhere near the pressure needed to hurt a human.
At about 500 feet, you’re looking at pressure that would come out of a fire hose. Not fun to get hit by, but not necessarily lethal. Most injuries would be from being pushed into things, not the water itself. And you’re definitely not becoming a paste.
Are you under the impression that the moment the hatch opens, the water instantly normalizes the pressure inside the vessel? Because that is by no means what happens.
Sorry, what era do you think the original hypothetical is in, exactly?
You seem to be assuming the human attempting to enter said vessel is somehow augmented to enable transit in those conditions (much less survive the initiating blast/breach), among other sophomoric assumptions.
I truly don't have time or bandwidth to hand-in-hand walk you through this. 🤌🏼
Augmented? The current free diving record is over 800 feet. That’s just a human, doing human shit. No augmentation.
You’re inability to actually respond with anything more than “I can’t even! 💅” is really not helping your cause.
You’re quite literally claiming that the water pressure that comes out of your tap is enough to turn the human body into a “bio jam” instantly.
