the deepest part of the world (ie closest you can get to the so called hell) is the Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean is 11,033 meters deep which i work that out to be 110312623 pascals (newtons per metre squared and i assume the temperature of water at the that depth is 0.1>x>0 celsius) which is equal to 1103.12623 atmospheres (earth atmos) so basically if you were to sit at the bottom the pressure exerted on you would crush you into a blob 1103.12 times smaller that you are now. HA

just something i worked out while i was bored in Physics last friday
