    Did they include the boat's speed in the calculation? The boat is pulling in one direction, Marlin in another, making the line roll way faster.

    i dont wanna just pick fights for the sake of it, but the density of water IS temperature dependent. as a rower i know we race slower on a cold day then on a hot day for example. water is most dense about 4 degree celsius. the "density of a water molecule" DOES change. its relativistic mass changes as its energy changes. also its volume - the nucleus and electrons area - changes according the the shells the electrons are occupying, so the density of both an individual molecule + seas change!

    hmm perhaps I have a different definition for density. But if your mean density as in how packed together, and how difficult it is to break the molecular bond then yes the gas form of water is less dense then liquid water. Sorry for the misunderstanding :P

    If some Black Marlin lived in air, just imagine how fast that would be!!! If water is 788 times denser than air, an air living black marlin might be capable of 63000 mph. Fastest fish in the,........ where'd it go? Oh, it just came up over the horizon behind us!

    Well since knots is already a unit for speed, you do not have to derive it further. Measuring knots/hour is measuring the acceleration of the fish, the average decrease or increase in speed.
    Units:
    1 knot= 1,852 km/h=1.15miles/hour
    80 x 1.15= 92 mph=148kph

  • @AsAnAtheistFilms
    @AsAnAtheistFilms 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    For water in steam form even if you compressed the steam to be as "dense" as water you could NOT swim in it because it's molecular bonds are shattered by the energy used to evaporate. In liquid water, this is not the case the bonds you are still required to force your movement through water. Hence why it is very difficult to move through water, and not so much through steam. Also a water molecule in gas form, is still as dense as a water molecule in liquid form. So you must mean pressured.

  • @wahaaaay

    Ever done any big game fishing? Or any kind of fishing? Of course you need technology to level the playing field against a huge fish like that. That thing is 400- 500 kg of pure muscle. And as for the assistants: They don't interfere in the actual drill. All they did was reel in the other lines (essential once you get a strike) and bring the fish alongside once it was "defeated". Plus they gave the guy pointers which seemed like a smart thing to do, since he didn't look very experienced to me.
