Assuming that the submarine is made of metal, I expect that it would be not only crushed and molten but also dissolved in the metallic hydrogen.

That's exactly how English words are formed. We don't "borrow" words from other languages, we track them down in dark alleys, hit them from behind, and go through their pockets for loose grammar.Flumble wrote:One does not simply combine two Greek words to form an English one.

Chaoscaphe does have a ring to it.

In reality, there are a few Greek-Greek words, but AFAIK most of the classic combinations are a mix of Greek and Latin, just to fuck with us.

There's a point in Jupiter's atmosphere where the pressure is equal to a little more than an Earth atmosphere—which is the pressure a submarine is used to—but the air there is barely a tenth as dense as ours.

Was it in one of these forum threads that there was a discussion recently of blimp-like research stations in Venus' atmosphere, or was that an actual article from some (dare I say it) space cadet?

That said, if I were on a sinking boat, I'd totally say "This is a Chaoscaphe!"

This obviously assumes that the atmosphere gets to the required density, but I'm not seeing why that wouldn't work like any other balloon would.
Eshru wrote:Trieste made it over 1000 atmospheres in the trench right? And air is only what 750 times less dense than water? Seems to just be a heat issue and that can surely be engineered away right? Or am I missing something big?
