[George from New England]

“Light travels approximately 1 foot/nanosecond.”

I would think the speed of sound is more relevant than the speed of light.

OK, I will give you a few hints. “Butch” claims the implosion was complete at 2 nanoseconds. The cylinder is greater than 4 ft in diameter, so the implosion would be travelling at a speed greater than that of light. Water cannot travel faster than the speed of light. IMO that means “Butch” is a pompous idiot.

[17th Miss Regt]

If the vessel was a six foot diameter tube and the tube collapsed symmetrically in 2 NANOSECONDS, the collapse rate averaged 1.5 billion feet per second. The speed of light is about 982 million feet per second in vacuo.

Also, I doubt very highly that anything in the human body, even nerve signals, happen in 4 nanoseconds.

If you change nanoseconds to milliseconds it makes a lot more sense!
