reduced ability to deal timeously with problems, leading to greater risk of developing into an accident. Increased risk of hypothermia. Increased risk of decompression sickness. Use of drugs that alter mental state or physiological responses to environmental conditions.
This is known as isobaric counterdiffusion, and presents a problem for very deep dives. [63] For example, after using a very helium-rich trimix at the deepest part of the dive, a diver will switch to mixtures containing progressively less helium and more oxygen and nitrogen during the ascent. Nitrogen diffuses into tissues 2.65 times slower ...

Do we experience less distance ...
Examples of human phenotypic variability: people with different levels of skin colors, a normal distribution of IQ scores, the tallest recorded man in history - Robert Wadlow - with his father. Human variability, or human variation, is the range of possible values for any characteristic, physical or mental, of human beings.
An actuary may refer to risk homeostasis, where (for example) people who have anti-lock brakes have no better safety record than those without anti-lock brakes, because the former unconsciously compensate for the safer vehicle via less-safe driving habits. Previous to the innovation of anti-lock brakes, certain maneuvers involved minor skids ...
