if u could teleport to another planet, say mars, could u survive for a minute by just holding your breath?

Answer 1

No, because if the lack of oxygen didn't kill you, the ambient temperature (way too hot or way too cold) would!

Answer 2

Yes. However, because of the low pressure, you'd probably feel better if you allowed the air in your lungs to escape (slowly). We might put you in some kind of suit that would exercise pressure on your skin (like a scuba diving suit). Many deep breaths of enriched air (a higher percentage of oxygen) just before teleportation so that your blood is slightly overloaded with oxygen.

The cold would affect you (as cold as some very cold spots on Earth). Dress warmly. We'd heat up the suit just before teleportation. Maybe a shot of hot chocolate... (a dollar extra)

No protection from Sun's UV (however, the Sun is further away)? We'll splash you with some sunscreen.

In case of dust storm: goggles. The rest of the clothes should be sufficient.

Of course, the medical staff would be on stand-by in the transporter room when you teleport back, ready to ensure that your body is still OK (or to get it started up in case...).

This is all included in the 15 million dollar tab.

Don't forget that if this is related to your job, you could deduct the cost from your gross revenue. Keep the receipt.

Answer 3

Mars is the only one you might conceivably be able to do this for, although the lower atmospheric pressure would probably mess you up (so you might have better luck NOT holding your breathe as was suggested). As long as you land reasonably near the equator in the summer, temperatures can be a comfortable 78 degrees Fahrenheit (during the day anyway)

On any other planet, you'd be screwed. The gas giants would rip you to shreds in their winds, the atmospheric pressure would crush you on Venus (in addition to the 600+ degree surface temperature), and depending on which side you landed on Mercury, you'd either fry or freeze pretty instantly

Answer 4

you would die, we all know that mars has a nearly non existent atmosphere by our standards
the low pressure has the effect of dropping fluids boiling points, and the continual temp of your body (you wouldn't cool down that fast, especially if you teleported) would have your blood being around 100 degrees F, so the fun thing is that with your blood and all your bodily fluids being under lower pressure and staying at a relatively high temperature, and your blood begins to boil, it literally will turn to gas in your body
Now i don't know exactly what that will do to you but to say the least it will not be a good thing, not a good thing at all

Oh yeah the low pressure would collapse your lungs too because the pressure inside the lungs, weather you breath out our not (good luck holding your breath under that pressure difference), would be near zero, and the pressure in your inter plural space (area surrounding your lungs) would still be near 1 atm (earth atm.), resulting in your lungs being sucked closed and collapsed, again would likely kill you

Answer 5

Yeah, I think you could. For about a minute. On Mars, anyway. Other planets are much more hostile, and you'd probably last only a second or two.

Answer 6

Due to the relative atmospheric pressures, the air within your body (specifically your lungs) will be under such a pressure to escape your body to fill the void of Martian atmosphere. I think you're more likely to survive by NOT holding your breath.

Answer 7

go Matt!

take several deep breaths, let it out, put on your goggles, keep your mouth closed... wear moderate warm clothing...

and you will survive several minutes, less if you aren't in good shape...

the explosive decompressions and trauma is Hollywood, not science... you go from 1 atm to 0, same as if you pull a fish from 2 atm (30 ft down) to 1.... how many fish you seen explode?

Answer 8

Yes.

Answer 9

I suppose, if the extreme cold, low gravity, and ravaging dust storms don't kill you first...
