Billionaires, and other people with too much money to spend, should invest into researching this kind of stuff. Sometimes, Googling just doesn't cut it, and you need to just find out yourself. That could happen, if you have more money than you know what to do with. With all that dough, Warren Buffet should be drilling to the center of the frickin' Earth!

Nice picture, but poor math. Unless I'm missing something really obvious, hydrostatic pressure of sea water is about .45 PSI per foot depth, making the figures completely out of whack.
I don't think the person who did that picture were doing the math, I think they were just using some numbers they knew and put them in the wrong places.
By the math, the pressure *at the bottom* would be 16,200psi ("The Pressure at the deepest part of the Mariana Trench is over 8 tons per square inch." - The Mariana Trench - Oceanography)
Either way, you're turned into a blob of pancake batter LONG before you get that deep, so it really doesn't matter...

I remember seeing a show on the Trieste and other deep sea exploration where an unmanned test sphere was lowered by cable. It developed a leak (which they had no way of knowing) and when it reached the surface it was leaking water from the same crack. The sphere was pressurized and a worker went to open the sphere and barely missed getting killed when the hatch popped open expelling the water at extreme velocity.
Now imagine hearing about this "test" and knowing you're going down in a similar sphere, but even deeper.
I find the space so majestic and beautiful, peaceful and calming..
for some reason i don't feel the same way about the bottom of the ocean.. something about it is just....
