  1. Try wearing a rubber suit with a hardhat breathing air from the surface and go down to 30 feet and open the exhaust on your helmet and see what feels like and a can tell you you would probably panic when you start feeling the squeeze.

  2. The pressure required to implode a submarine, like the Titanic or any other, depends on various factors, including the submarine's design, materials, and depth at which it is submerged. The concept you're referring to is often associated with the concept of "crush depth."

    Submarines are designed to withstand significant pressure, and they have hulls constructed to withstand the external water pressure as they dive to deeper depths. The pressure increases with depth, and at a certain point, the structural integrity of the submarine's hull can be compromised, leading to potential implosion.

    To calculate the specific pressure required to implode a submarine, you would need detailed information about the submarine's design, material properties, and the depth at which it is operating. The formula to calculate pressure is:

    Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)

    In this case, the force would be the force exerted by the water on the submarine's hull due to the depth, and the area would be the surface area of the part of the submarine being subjected to this pressure.

    It's important to note that submarines are engineered with safety factors to ensure they can withstand pressures significantly higher than what they would encounter during normal operations. Imploding a submarine intentionally would be a highly dangerous and controlled operation, not something that should be attempted.

    If you have specific details about a submarine's design and depth, I could provide a rough estimate, but it would be a simplified approximation.

  3. The implosion actually took less than a millisecond which is scary fast because your eyes take 13 milliseconds to process light and your brain takes 100 milliseconds to process pain so it really was instant it wasn’t 30 seconds
