Marine animals are able to get much larger than land animals because the buoyancy means they don't have to spend like 80% of their body weight on structural support.
I have no idea how lobster metabolism or anything else scales up though.
Surgical internal lobster reinforcement. Since this is an infant science, we'll need an entire Leviathan God husbandry program to learn about what's the best way to give a lobster an endoskeleton.
Yes, but it doesn't apply to animals that live in the water (or at least not nearly as harshly, I'm not sure which). Their buoyancy keeps them from being crushed by their own weight.
I think that's a separate phenomenon, large animals also have a more efficient metabolism than small animals so it would help them go longer without food in a shitty sparse ocean floor.
I don't know anything about Anatomy or Biology but I think so, if its strength comes from the shell then as it gets larger the size of the shell doesn't match its weight proportionally and it will eventually collapse.

then we will simply have to enhance it with titanium rods and robotics

:sicko-wistful:
Would it being in water not negate this?

As a land animal with back problems that sounds nice.
Go into the water!
Live there, die there!
If not, there's always Low Earth Orbit.

Need to advance science to help cultivate immortal lobsters.

I'm thick as pig shit (😏), but this is the square-cube law, right?

mm, that's how deep sea gigantism works, right? neat, but also horrifying to visualise lol
If you've ever tried picking someone up in a pool same concept.

fair enough! thanks for indulging my curiosity ☺️
