Now THESE are the kind of fish I want, dont understand why we cannot keep them?

[andyjs]

And also, why are 99 of 100 races shown on Star Trek humanoid?

Less money they have to put into costumes

Even bringing fish up from 30 ft down in a lake is so drastic of a pressure change that some have their swim bladders prolapse out of their mouths. Coming from 6,000+ feet down, even at an extremely slow rate (as in months, maybe years), the pressure change would be so great that the fish likely wouldn't survive

Here is the real question... If life exists on other planets, and planets have huge differences in atmospheric pressures, just as living on earth and living at the deepest point of the ocean would, how would that life from space ever be able to visit earth- and vice versa.

Or another one while I'm baked n deep'n thought, Currently our technology does not allow us to see very far into space (in comparison...) but the largest planet currently known is called TRES4. Now lets generalize that a human is 5.5' tall, and earth is 12,742 km in diameter. The planet TRES4 is 243,073 km in diameter. If there is humanoid life on that planet, would they be 110 feet tall?

And also, why are 99 of 100 races shown on Star Trek humanoid?

Now I've gone overboard...

Well I imagine that life on a different planet might be very different than what we are used to, that said, I dont think living in our atmosphere would be a problem for them as their technology would have to be so vastly more sophisticated than ours just to get here from whereever they came from, a small change in pressure would probably be no thing lol AS for Trek, its low budget, its why I prefere stargate lol

Yeah its a bummer isnt it, just trying to imagine some of those deep sea fish in aquariums would be beyond cool

How do they even get pics of anglers if its dangerous to be that deep?

Equipment needed

Camera
Long long long retrval rope
huge lead weight
1 x wife

procedure

attach retreval rope to cammera
attatch x wife to huge lead weight
shove camera into x wife mouth (lense facing outward)
throw x wife into water
when your rope runs out retrieve cammera
develop film and enjoy new pics

If your interested in deep sea exploration Watch "BLUE PLANET" of Discovery !!
GOOD STUFF!!

 

[Knowdafish]

they just adapted to it like many other different animals you have to deal with what you are dealt!

Their bodies are mainly water. Water doesn't "pressurize" to the extent that gasses do. Submarines are full of a gas (oxygen/air). If they were 100% full of water they could go as deep as they wanted!

 

[sg1]

Isnt the human body also made up mostly of water though?

Yes, I think our bodies around 70% water but I think that we would still get crushed by the pressure. If we didn't get crushed by that we would have no way of breathing unless a rebreather can make it that far down.
