If you put a liquid with bacteria in it between two flat metal plates and applied like 100tons of force how much (if any) of the bacteria would survive?
In: Biology
Key is something called force per unit area, basically even if you apply a large force the bacteria has a small size and volume so unless the force is focused on the bacteria hardly any of that force will be applied to the bacteria, on top of this the bacteria is basically a tough bag of water which is resistant to being crushed.
