Was just wondering if you could humanly survive inside a blue whale. I've had a look on the net and see about a guy named James Bartley but his tale seems to be dismissed as hokum.
If you could get into a whale's mouth through the thing that sives out stuff from the water - if that is even possible - and you ahd an oxygen tank on could you survive inside a whale?
I'm guessing as soon as it dived you'd be killed from pressure or drowning or would the whale act as a living submarine. If you could get out again after a reasonable amount of time and you hadn't suffocated/drowned could you theoretically live in a whale for say 24 hours?
How much of the inside of a whale is open space? They can grow to 130 feet so I've read so you must have a fair bit of room in there.
The internet seems to suggest no-one has ever been swalowed and emerged from inside a giant whale. It seems like a challenge begging to be taken up if you ask me.
Also how did the bible writers know what a whale was? When did the term 'whale' come into use and what is it's origins? Whoever wrote the bible how did they know it was a whale? Was it common knowledge among people in those days what a whale was?
