Titanic tourist sub goes missing sparking search

[Manatee Diver]

SOSUS is a secret network.

First rule of fight club...

The existence has been declassified for 30 years now. The exact capabilities remain secret but we already know it can detect submarine accidents hundreds of miles away is within the capabilities of arrays.

Again a collection of numbers with little meaning.
An explosion is characterised by the energy released, measured in J.
A ton of TNT means 4184 GJ (GigaJoules).
The energy released by an implosiin is simply p×v.
Pressure at 4000m is roughly 400×10^5 Pa. Volume was around 10 m3.

So the energy released is 4000×10^5 J which equates to 95 kg of TNT.

Again, a collection of numbers conveying little information able to allow a subjective understanding of the forces involved. C'mon Angelo, you can be more helpful than that.

200lbs of TNT is pretty illustrative, IMO.

My brain can roughly process J, m, m³, Pa but is completely lost when it has to think in lbs, feet, pounds...
It's time for the colonies to adopt the metric system.

But as a naturalized US citizen, I did laugh when I first heard that "inches, feet and pounds are measurements only used in countries that have put people on the moon...."

Perhaps true.

I wonder how many German rockets have landed on the Moon. Mars. Moons of Jupiter.

Y'all may have invented rockets, but then epic fail. Probably due to lack of inventiveness by using easy measurements.

I thought that Von Braun led the development of Saturn V. Without it, there would not have been Apollo 11. Now, the nazi might have been naturalized after that. I don’t know.

It's also interesting to see the number of things designed from scratch in metric units that have a dimension of, say for instance, 25.4mm, or something similarly related to base imperial units.

As stated, Germans invented rockets.

Then we taught them how to think in inches, feet, and pounds, and BAZINGA! We have nuclear weapons, nuclear reactors, and Saturn V.

I doubt it, there will be a big investigation, lawsuits, etc. in the coming months and years. Movie to follow.

James Cameron would be the perfect director for this movie.
