    I feel sad for the commenters who complain about how "childish" the scientists are with their ooh-ing and whoa-ing. I think having that child-like sense of wonder is important for being a scientist. The world is full of amazing things, and this brine pool itself is like an alien planet, I'd be surprised if nobody ooh-ed and whoa-ed at the sight of it.

      Yeah thats one thing I dont understand
      The thing is people think scientists are all serious and just wierd and ultra smart like in the movies. It tells them that scientist are just emotionless people in lab coats that work all day without stress and that they are dead inside so they arent impressed by anything unless if its something mad

    I like that it's just a live commentary with the scientists... Not going to lie, this is basically how most scientists are when they start out. The world has become more complicated, intricate and beautiful with contextual knowledge and seeing things no one else could really explain seriously just puts you into a state of awe. Definitely the best job in the world.

    Brine pools are so fascinating and kind of terrifying. They are so salty they inhabitable and basically embalm anything that is unfortunate enough to swim or fall into it. It's super dense, salty water that is heavier and saltier than the surrounding ocean so it just stays in little pools like these. I love watching the waves and ripples on the surface. This stuff must be kind of viscous seeing how slow the waves move.

    • @davecrupel2817
      @davecrupel2817 Před 3 lety +24

      Brine is pretty much as viscous as water. Maybe 1.1x more at the extreme most.
      What makes it flow slowly is just that. How close in density they are to one another.
      They are close to simply floating and swirling with one another, but nooot quite. The difference is juuust enough to allow brine to sink and accumulate in manners like this.
      Kind of like clouds. Water vapor is actually less dense than air. The difference is tiny, but it is still a difference. Which is why clouds seldom form on the ground at certain altitudes above sea level. And will only do so on days of low barometric pressure. Such as fog and mist.

    They actually explained how brine pools form in a different part of their exploration. It's pretty simple: brine is really salty water which is dense enough to remain pooled and un-mixed with the rest of the ocean. Remember, since this trip was recorded live but uploaded piece-wise, they don't have an explanation for the phenomena here. The explanation was given probably a few minutes earlier in real time. They can't re-explain the pool physics too many times- it would get really old. Here's where they tell us how these pools form: czcams.com/video/1B_-yakR_4E/video.htmlm36s

      Arthur H I think they’re just asking why, in an ocean full of salt, do some areas contain more salt and therefore become brine pools. What is the source of all this salt? The answer is that it comes from (Wikipedia says it better than me) ‘the dissolution of large salt deposits through salt tectonics’ - basically, there are salt structures in parts of the ocean that dissipate, as the structures are soluble. They don’t mix *easily* because this mixture is more dense as it has more salt, but they do mix somewhat. There needs to be a source to replenish the pool, otherwise it will slowly diffuse. However, it is so slow that it is pretty unnoticeable to us.
      I think that explains it better than the word “density” standing alone, since these pools will gradually diffuse without a source.

    • @Blitzkit
      @Blitzkit Před 4 lety +5

      Density is still a good explanation.
      Just look on the middle of atlantic and pacific ocean. You'll see the colors of ocean are different and do not mix.
