It is certainly true to say that a gas is more compressible than a liquid, but there is no defined 'level (...) (25 years ago, 7-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

If fluid were compressable fish could not live 2 miles down, divers couldn't dive and dolphins and whales would be crushed on their very common 700 foot dives. This is all quite true (...)

Admittedly it is not very easy to do it, but it will compress. Most solids are compressable too. At hight pressures, (...) (25 years ago, 8-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

The pressure difference from top to bottom results from the weight of the water on top. Period. If I put a 6 ton weight (shades of Monty (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Specifically, here are several things that cannot be compressed: - Massless particles (...) (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
