The Hydrostatic Reality Check
Water pressure increases by roughly 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters of descent. At the bottom of the Challenger Deep, pressure exceeds 1,000 atmospheres ($16,000+\text{ PSI}$), instantly crushing unprotected conventional structures. Transmedium reports highlight anomalies entering and operating within water seamlessly without cavitation trails or structural yielding.
