Scientists discover 'black holes' in Earth's oceans » Banoosh:


Some of the largest ocean eddies on Earth are mathematically equivalent to the black holes of space, and our oceans are littered with them.


Black holes don’t only exist in the cold distance of deep space, they also exist right here on Earth, swirling in the oceans. Scientists from ETH Zurich and the University of Miami have discovered that many large ocean eddies on Earth are mathematically equivalent to the black holes of space, meaning nothing trapped by them can escape, according to Phys.org.
