I don't quite understand why an instrument imploding was such a unique inadvertent experiment? I would have thought that part of normal seafloor mapping was using sonar/ultrasound anyway, or pneumatic charges or something similar.
- changoplatanero 5y agoyeah you would think if it was so useful they could have planned an experiment like this. maybe it's illegal to set of underwater explosions on purpose for a research institute?
- nieve 5y agoPossibly the combination of it occurring at great depth and there being another instrument-laden probe right there.
- ILMostro7 5y ago"Only a few people have ever visited Challenger Deep." That kind of goes towards the answer of why it was useful, but also begs the question of why there haven't been more scientists there.
