Unexpectedly for everyone, scientists managed to discover something unknown to science before. We are talking about the mathematical equivalent of a black hole circulating in this case not in space, but in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It is noted that this object is 'larger than the city' in size.
Black holes are regions of space-time that exhibit gravitational acceleration so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. But they don't seem to be much different from the ocean's eddies known as vortices, which are so tightly surrounded by circular waterways that nothing can get into them.
Researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Miami first discovered a similar anomaly in 2013. To do this, they used a sequence of satellite observations from the South Atlantic Ocean. The show said last month on its opening program:
'You may not need to fly into space if you want to get a closer look at a black hole. Scientists have discovered something very similar to black holes in the South Atlantic Ocean. '
The black hole has such a huge gravitational attraction that when something is pulled into it, then this object no longer has a chance to escape. Scientists have discovered something very similar to black holes in the South Atlantic Ocean
Even light cannot escape from a black hole, and ocean black holes appear to be as powerful as their cosmic cousins. But instead of catching light, they do the same with water. '
A vortex is the swirling of a fluid and a reverse current that occurs when the fluid is in turbulent flow.
'Ocean vortices are huge whirlpools that rotate against the main stream. They usually circulate billions of tons of water, and most are larger than a major city. They are so powerful that nothing caught by them can no longer float away from there. '
Scientists have begun to study ocean eddies using a satellite. So they discovered the boundaries of several vortices. After that, they managed to prove that mathematically, these eddies are similar to mysterious black holes in space.
It is believed that massive vortices are surrounded by superdense barriers, in which the fluid moves along closed loops. Even water cannot escape these loops, so dense ocean vortices act as huge containers. The water inside them can be completely different from the ocean surrounding the vortex. But ocean vortex vortices are surprisingly stable and serve as water taxis for all kinds of microorganisms, oil and plastic waste from one part of the ocean to another.
