    Holy shit and all of that happens within 2 nanoseconds I think? So that’s why the victims in that submarine wouldn’t even know it already happened because our brain takes 4 nanoseconds before we could process that pain.

      The velocity of a catastrophic implosion like that would exceed Mach 2 (686 m/s). Nerve conduction is about 50-60 m/s. Dead before they knew anything was going wrong.

      all of that happens within 2 nanoseconds

      More in the range of a couple of milliseconds. The fragments of sub wall have to accelerate from zero over a distance of maybe 30cm before they hit a person (obviously depending on where the person is inside the sub).

      Too fast to register mentally or even catch on standard video equipment in either case.

      There’s a big chance they’ve all passed out from lack of oxygen by the time this happened. It’s instant death either way.
