Message-ID: Date: 19 Dec 89 10:15:05 GMT Sender: bfu@ifi.uio.no Reply-To: Thomas Gramstad Lines: 10 Sometimes in science fiction etc. one encounters the idea of deep divers breathing liquid instead of gas (the last example is in the movie The Abyss). What is the rationale for this idea, if any? Is it at all possible for a human being to breathe and obtain oxygen from a liquid? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas Gramstad bfu@ifi.uio.no -------------------------------------------------------------------
