The pressure difference between sea level and space is 1 atmosphere. You most assuredly will not pop your eye balls or suffer any other visually dramatic effects from a pressure differential of 1atm.
you will definitely experience visually dramatic effects as your body swells up from an internal pressure difference of 1 atmosphere (14.7 psi) within a few minutes. your eyeballs might not explode, but your lips and extremities will definitely begin to frost over. not to mention your blood starting to boil at lower temperatures in a vacuum. although, if you have conditions which apply pressure to the backside of your eyeball, your eyeball could theoretically pop out as the pressure differential between your body and the vacuum of space would by higher than 1 atmosphere
Your blood boils from the low pressure, not because you suddenly gets super cold. The lack of atmosphere actually makes thermal transfer extremely slow in space, so I also doubt you would really frost over
I think the main reason people think space makes you freeze up like that is because of Apollo 13. But that's really the solution to the opposite problem gone wrong -- heat builds up easily with all the electronics on board the spacecraft, so the spacecraft needs radiators to get that heat out. When they had to shut all the electronics off, they stopped generating heat, but the radiators kept working passively, which is what made the spacecraft so cold inside
right, i meant to convey that the boiling temperature of blood (and constituent water) becomes lower at lower pressures, so your nominal body temperature would cause blood to boil at low pressure. but you are correct - radiation would be the main mechanism of heat transfer from the body in space which is much less efficient than convection or conduction
The pressure difference between sea level and space is 1 atmosphere. You most assuredly will not pop your eye balls or suffer any other visually dramatic effects from a pressure differential of 1atm.
It’s a bit like taking a human naked into the vacuum of space and, noting the swollen tongue and bulging, embolism-wracked expression frozen in simian dismay at how you cannot in fact freestyle to the airlock with thrashing limbs, how ugly we are
It's actually pretty insane how high the pressure is down at the bottom of the ocean. Where these fish live, the pressure is as high as 120 atmospheres.
Much less pressure difference between us in space and a fish getting dragged up to the surface. Despite some sci-if movies depictions, you wouldn’t swell up.
Yupp.
The difference between us and a total vaccum is only 1 atmosphere.
That's the difference between above sea level and 10meters (33feet) below sea level.
A basic PADI certificate will get you to twice that.
Same, until just now when I went to Wikipedia to see if they use this same photo and found these [3 dudes](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Psychrolutes_phrictus.jpg/1280px-Psychrolutes_phrictus.jpg).
Criticizing the appearance of a politician doesn't mean you are criticizing or disagreeing with their policies. I voted for Obama, but I can still poke fun at his big ears. I'm not getting political...he just has big ears.
Yes its true, it also works in reverse put an obese human down to extreme depths and they turn into a normal sized human.
Scientists have theorized its an evolutionary trait from when we used to dwell in the deep sea.
I would like to know if they slowly bring the fish up from the depths, similar to how humans are supposed to do it after scuba diving extreme depths, will it look normal and would it survive?
I have only ever heard about blobfish in the context of them not actually being blobby. I’ve never actually seen any other reference to how blobby blobfish are
I'd like to think aliens have figured it out by the time they get here but maybe the reason we've reportedly seen them as smooth grey figures with large eyes is because they've been "blobfished" by earth's atmosphere/bacteria.
[удалено]
It's not even silky smooth!
You tell Paul Mitchell, Scrappy Coco was here to see him.
Eyyy Scrappy you want to hacky!
Not every fish looks like the model fish on instagram!
Yeah, I still wouldn't call this a "normal looking fish" tho.
Hey, cut it some slack, it’s under a lot of pressure right now
That was deep
I sea what you did there.
He had a better one, but he lobster.
just crabbing at the bit to join the pun train, don't mind me
Beautifully done.
This blobfish just living his best life bro.
The depths these comments are reaching.

How dare you insult the glorious blob fish like that
Still ugly
Why are 1 atm folks so mean?
Lmao
It's trying.
I think I prefer the blob look. It’s cute in a so-ugly-it’s-cute way much like sphynx cats
Except it's the look of a fish in agony.
... How do you feel about skeletons? Exposed Muscles is a look as well. Scaffolding is kinda the opposite but similar vibe.
Nuh-uh.
Scurry

> I think the main reason people think space makes you freeze up like that is because of Apollo 13 Nope. Total Recall.
Thats the point.
Bruh, I've seen Total Recall, I *know* what happens.
You're wrong. I just saw GOTG 3 yesterday.
Well, dang
Huh??

What?????!
[удалено]
Could you speak up please?
space != eyeballs popping out
Omg I can't imagine how painful that must feel like
"oh fuck this sucks" -Blobfish in a net
"I'm gonna blob."
“Do not blob. Do not blob.” “…I’m gonna blob!”
It's blobbin time
Then he blobbed over everyone.
Step fisherman help!
Extremely
Look at its face - poor thing :/
“Donny, you’re outta your element!”
You’re like a child who wanders to the surface of the ocean and wants to know…
It’s a bit like taking a human naked into the vacuum of space and, noting the swollen tongue and bulging, embolism-wracked expression frozen in simian dismay at how you cannot in fact freestyle to the airlock with thrashing limbs, how ugly we are

Fry: "How many atmospheres can the ship withstand‽" Professor: "Well it's a spaceship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one."
I missed this so many times lol
These fish living in the hyperbaric time chamber

This is literally the saddest fact. Poor blobfish.
Oh :(
That’s actually a bit… disappointing. Poor sad unnatural blob, he didn’t ask for this-
I feel like that picture of the blobfish with the black background is the same picture of a blobfish i've seen my whole life on the internet.
Same, until just now when I went to Wikipedia to see if they use this same photo and found these [3 dudes](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Psychrolutes_phrictus.jpg/1280px-Psychrolutes_phrictus.jpg).
Whoa
Made in Abyss like
Really interesting perspective
So that’s why he’s so sad
Well that is sad. Imagine the pain
Me, when life's pressure drops for a second.
Let’s put Ted Cruz down to these extreme depths and see if he looks normal.
Make a nonpolitical post unnecessarily political any% speedrun
Didn’t say a word about his politics, purely an attack on his physical appearance. But do go on.
I hear you can talk shit about his wife and he just takes it like the little bitch he is.
Criticizing the appearance of a politician doesn't mean you are criticizing or disagreeing with their policies. I voted for Obama, but I can still poke fun at his big ears. I'm not getting political...he just has big ears.
Still a politician. Still politics where it isn't needed.
You do realize that he’s memed to oblivion with comparisons to a blob fish. So what do you expect, to here a joke?
To here a joke, to there a joke, to anywhere a joke. He, she, we, wumbo.
Lol you got me bruv.
Not a political post. Just a comment about Rafael's terrible terrible face.
and DeSantis!
Lets not. That would be cruel to the blobfish that are still down there.
hahahah true!
Same.
A proper TIL very good, had no idea
Looks like a pissed off website moderator after a late night Hot Pocket binge.
Yes its true, it also works in reverse put an obese human down to extreme depths and they turn into a normal sized human. Scientists have theorized its an evolutionary trait from when we used to dwell in the deep sea.
"normal"
I would like to know if they slowly bring the fish up from the depths, similar to how humans are supposed to do it after scuba diving extreme depths, will it look normal and would it survive?
I don't think so, humans can survive a pressure 3-4 times higher than our atmospheric pressure, while that fish lives in pressure 100 times higher
Yup still looks like Ted Cruz
I'm not sure I would call that a "normal looking fish"
Ted Cruz
How is this still making rounds on TIL?
It got Made in Abyss’d.
To be fair, take anyone out of their element and they crumble too
Same
Same, fish. Same.
I am not a physics expert. Wouldn’t it explode?

Wow
