Painless Death ??? they were there.... Then in an instant, they were gone

Theory from this video and it's comment >

~20ms implosion duration.

To put it into perspective, it takes roughly 15-20ms for the brain to receive and process visual images from the eyes....

~100-200ms for the brain to process auditory signals... and

~100-150ms for the brain to process peripheral sensory signals (pain, touch, heat etc).

Meaning, from their perspective, they were there.... Then in an instant, they were gone. There was no in-between. They experienced nothing. Saw nothing. Heard nothing. Felt nothing. Just instantly dead. Quite a comforting thought all things considered.

Interesting video. I think it's impossible to know what these people experienced psychologically, ie what kind of fear or stress they experienced leading up to the end moment, seeing as they probably knew they were lost. But I do think the actual death itself would have been instant and painless seeing how it would have been just so fast. Perhaps one of natures small mercies, given the situation they found themselves in. Would be pretty impossible to replicate I would think.

Am sure it is quite comforting to us as we seek to exit in such quick and painless manner but am sure they were pretty pissed to learn they have ceased to exist. That is if they were around to be pissed

Not sure really. I've heard different things about what might have happened. They may have known that systems were starting to fail. They may have heard cracking noises as the resin started to fail. I've even heard it may have nose dived. I'd like to hope it was quick and painless but I have a horrible feeling it was probably terrifying before it happened.
