Detecting ferocious black holes in the Atlantic

Scientists believe they have discovered the existence of ferocious "black holes" on Earth, appearing in the southern Atlantic region.

A black hole or a black hole is an area in space - time to suck everything closer to it. The gravitational field of the black hole is so strong that it can prevent everything that has been swallowed into it, including light, to escape.

According to researchers from ETH Zurich University (Switzerland) and Miami University (USA), some of the largest whirlpools in the South Atlantic region are of real size similar to the mysterious black holes in the time. This means that they also suck and "trap" water like the way black holes swallow light.

These giant ocean whirlpools are so tightly wrapped, surrounded by streams of water that nothing ever gets sucked in, can escape. Statistics show that such "black holes" appear more and more in the southern Atlantic Ocean, increasing saltwater circulation and warming north.

Scientists say that "ocean black holes" could inhibit the negative effects of sea-melting ice due to global warming. However, until recently, they still could not quantify this impact, because the precise boundaries of the giant ocean whirlpools remain a mystery.

The team from Switzerland and the US now believe that they have finally solved the conundrum. Using mathematical models, they isolated vortices from a series of satellite observations.

The team was amazed to discover the similarities between black holes in space with fierce whirlpools in the Atlantic Ocean.

For example, at a critical distance, a ray of light no longer travels in a spiral path into the black hole. Instead, light rays bend significantly and return to their original position, forming a circular orbit. The surface due to closed light orbits forms, called "photon bridge face" according to Einstein's theory of relativity.

Researchers have found similar closed fences around ocean whirlpools. In these fences, liquid particles move here and there in closed rings, like the path of light in a phton sphere.

The team also identified seven Agulhas rings of "black hole" whirlpools, transporting the entire volume of water (never leaking outside) from one place to another for nearly a year. The results of their study are expected to help solve many of the mysteries of the ocean, from climate-related questions to the spread of environmental pollution forms.
