Hello, wonderful person! This is Anton and in today's video, we going to be imagining what would happen if you fell into a gas chamber. Specifically, let's actually fall through Saturn just like the Cassani mission back in
2017 so let's just imagine that here you are working for NASA or between Saturn and
suddenly something happens and unfortunately your cable snaps and
You start losing orbital velocity and then start falling into this beautiful gas giant
At which point you might actually start freaking out now. Let's actually find out
What would happen as you go through these layers of gas giant stuff?
and
What would actually end up happening at the end and of course back home on earth the?
NASA and whoever else is involved with the mission is probably freaking out, but they're curious to find out what actually happens to your body
Now as you start falling through the upper atmosphere of Saturn you actually realize that the gravity here is not that much stronger than on
Earth so your actual velocity will be very similar to the upper atmospheres of Earth and you're going to be falling
through some layers that might seem familiar
But have a different color and these first letters are just going to be ammonia clouds, specifically white ammonia clouds
But your descent speed is going to be relatively large
You might be moving at speeds close to one kilometer per second yet views will be pretty spectacular
The temperature however is going to be pretty cold, so you may want to bring extra layers inside your suit
But it is going to be slowly warming up about 15 minutes later things will start changing
And you'll actually start experiencing slight darkness and as you go deeper and deeper into the atmosphere is going to
Become darker and darker now a few minutes later
You're going to start seeing a second deck of clouds
And this is actually something different in Composition these are ammonium hydrosulfide and ammonium sulfide broke out
So they're actually going to be brown in color and the air pressure at this point actually increases to above the air pressure
even on the surface of Earth so you're going to start slowing down quite dramatically because the gravity here is a
About the same as on earth
But the atmospheric pressure increases with your fall and right after you pass the second layer of clouds
Things will get slightly or actually dramatically darker
We're going to actually barely see even your own hands now, and then a few minutes later
You're going to start reaching the third layer of clouds
and the pressure here is going to start dramatically increasing two four five six and
Almost 10 atmospheres so you're going to actually feel quite squeezed if you
Didn't bring some sort of a pressurization device anxiety suit and as you're falling through these water clouds that look kind of similar to earth
You actually started seeing a lot of interesting things
Including a lightning that is going to brighten your day a little bit or possibly electrocute you and kill you right there
And with pressure being at least 5 atmospheres now you actually might start experiencing what's known as the oxygen?
Toxicity this is actually a condition that starts occurring and can even kill you if you bring a normal air
composition inside your suit
Do you actually have to start changing the composition of your air that you breathe in order for you not to die from?
toxicity of oxygen
and
Now things get pretty dark, and you start getting really compressed
But it is since you're mostly water only the air inside of you will get compressed the rest of you will actually be fine
now you start seeing a lot of lightning and thunder and you probably started getting really really scared because
We're going to die pretty soon, and as you fall through you actually start experiencing quite a lot of winds with speeds
almost 200 meters per second or
720 kilometers per hour and things become really really dark now
This is actually the part where the temperature might actually become comfortable 23 degrees Celsius
basically room temperature
But as the time passes after about half an hour
You're actually going to start getting in trouble as the temperature increases
to almost hundred degree Celsius or the boiling temperature of water more pressure more darkness
Very very hot and as things warm up you realize that
Hydrogen no longer behaves as a gas and it becomes very liquidy so you basically float
Through this hydrogen that becomes more and more hot first thousand degrees Celsius when it actually starts glowing red
And you finally start seeing things and obviously die, but let's assume that your suit has some sort of protection then
5000 degrees Celsius and
Basically starts glowing kind of like a Sun or a star, and then you reach
10,000 degrees Celsius, and this is at a depth of about
20,000 kilometers where things become very unusual very strange and you start experiencing
things like helium rain for example
Which is something that you don't see very often on earth or actually at all, and at this depth
Obviously you're probably dead one
But we're assuming that you're still alive for some reason you reach what's known as the liquid metal hydrogen now. This is essentially
Hydrogen behaving as a liquid metal, which is what's responsible for generating and tremendously powerful
Magnetosphere around all of the e-class Giants and at this point hydrogen starts acting as a kind of a supercritical
material that is kind of liquid kind of gas and
Is same density as you so you don't sink anymore
But let's just say you brought some lead shoes or some other material that allows you to sink even more and so you actually
Go through
the
unusual liquid metal hydrogen and start sinking even more
Now this material will actually dissolve everything including you and your suit, but we're imagining things
So we're going to imagine that you didn't get to dissolve in this unusual
material and you keep sinking even lower the temperatures here are
Ridiculous as are pressures the pressure is probably about two million atmospheres
and the temperature is over ten thousand degrees Celsius and possibly even eleven thousand degrees Celsius, but
Nothing stops us at this point
we keep sinking more and more for about fifteen thousand kilometers and
Because this material is actually very very dense you're going to be falling through this for many many weeks
And at some point we're going to reach solid ground now
This is actually made out of rock exotic ices metals and the combination of materials
We'll probably can't even imagine because we've never seen them except for some extreme cases in the lab
You're basically standing on what might be considered to be the core of a gas giant, and he kind of starts slowly walking away
Hoping one day to return to Earth but in reality you're long dead because well. There's no way you can survive in these conditions
Anyway, so that's all I wanted to show in this video
And hopefully you'll learn a little bit about what would happen if you fell through a gas giant
Specifically Saturn now. It's not something you want to experience because it's probably going to be very painful
But you know we'll talk more about this in some of the future videos
And thank you for watching come back tomorrow to learn something else. I'll see you guys later. Space and as always bye-bye
