Jupiter's Pressure Would Do THIS to You

[00:00:00]1,000 times Earth's pressure would hit you like a wall. Your bones compress before your brain registers pain.

[00:00:08]Jupiter's atmosphere crushes at 10 million PSI at its core. Earth's deepest ocean only hits 16,000 PSI. At 10 times surface pressure, around 1,470 PSI, human lungs collapse in under 1 second. That's deeper than any submarine survives. Your blood would behave like a solid under that force. Nitrogen crystallizes in your bloodstream at those pressures. Tardigrades survived up to 87,000 PSI in lab tests by 2008 researchers. Your cells rupture at roughly 300 PSI. Jupiter converts hydrogen gas into liquid metal at 1.4 million PSI. Nothing biological exists past that threshold. Right now, Jupiter's metallic hydrogen ocean churns 25,000 miles deep, and that pressure makes Earth's entire atmosphere feel like open air.
