#9  Imagine for a minute the ramifications of the Pressure Containment vessel rupturing?

#8  Your math is correct, NN2N1.

That's also 267,000,000,000 newton/meter² for those who actually listened to Jimmie Carter.

#4  IF I am reading this right....

267 gigapascal (gPa) = 2635085.12+ Earth Standard Atmospheres (ESA).

ESA = 14.6+/- psi, so this would be about:
38,724,945 PSI.

Imagine for a minute the ramifications of the Pressure Containment vessel rupturing?

Because at just (69 kPa) Steel reinforced concrete buildings usually collapse.

So we are talking 90%+ Fatalities and a shock wave wind speed of over 500mph in the immediate area. The immediate area of destruction depending on the size of the Pressure Containment Vessel.

Some Bad News About The Replication Crisis In Social Science

And, of course, there is also AGW and "Herd Immunity" - the too super-idiotic theories "gracing" our times.
