BBC Planet Earth Episode 4 Caves- the halocline

[Norwegalicious]

This is wonderful filming!

[chalaha001]

Thiis is mentionned in the Holy Quran 1400 years ago, God has said in the quran exactly the same thing we saw in this video:

"" It is He Who has let free the two bodies of flowing water: One palatable and sweet, and the other salt and bitter; yet has He made a barrier between them, a partition that is forbidden to be passed."" (surah al furqan 25 verse 53 )

Miraculous, isn't it?

[MaartenArn]

@chalaha001 probably copied from something other then the bible, where they copied all their other stuff from.

[ijustwanttowatchmovs]

@chalaha001 Accept of course that salt water and fresh water do mix in all (liquid) cases, in this case the mixing is very slow but it is still occurring. So to summarise, the people who wrote this shit were just making it and it is obviously wrong.

[afiqtube]

@ijustwanttowatchmovs This event only happens in the ocean. It does not happen in a glass of mixed sea water and fresh water. In the natural world, these 2 waters won't mix so well.

[ijustwanttowatchmovs]

@afiqtube What are you talking about? If you want to recreate this phenomena in the lab then you could, you would just have to make the conditions identical. If you want to see if fresh and salt water mix in the ocean, I suggest you try out an experiment, all you need is bowl of fresh water and an ocean.

The fact of the matter is that the Quran was written by people with little knowledge of the natural world, any physical knowledge that is in it was either widely known or a lucky guess.

[afiqtube]

@ijustwanttowatchmovs I'm not talking about re-creating this phenomena. of course it can be done, but my point is that it doesnt happen naturally. thats why there is this phenomena. if not they wont be surprised by it. But dude, believe in what you want man.

[DamienZshadow]

@afiqtube What do you mean it doesn't happen naturally? It's happening naturally right in this video!

[afiqtube]

@DamienZshadow Sorry, what i meant was that the mixing of both waters doesnt happen naturally (hence this phenomena). it can however, be mixed in a lab.

[DamienZshadow]

@afiqtube Oh no, but it does happen naturally. The water you see does mix, just not as fast as usual in estuaries where rivers meet oceans. Instead you have an instance where there is a lack of water flow and other conditions that make it appear as if mixing is impossible but it is very possible. If you create a current in these areas you would see a mixing.

[afiqtube]

@DamienZshadow yeah i guess it does mix in slowly but nonetheless, it is an incredible phenomena because it looks as the 2 waters are seperate.

[DamienZshadow]

@afiqtube It is an incredible phenomena and quite beautiful, but not an indication of a miracle of Islam. The Quran explicitly states that there is a barrier this FORBIDDEN to be cross between salt and fresh water. But otherwise, yes, it is quite a cool environment.

[violetsho]

And it is He who has released [simultaneously] the two seas, one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition(quran)

[Stephenalverez]

I hope this get's fixed in the new life update.

[LegioXHispanica]

I searched for this scen for years, It strongly amazed me when I saw it years ago and I didn't knew the doc or the phenomena name

[massrerdean]

@LegioXHispanica did you know that is is mentioned in Quran?

[DrAznmuff]

this shit blows my mind.  no, it blasts. blasts my mind.

[massrerdean]

@DrAznmuff did you know that this fact is mentioned in the Qur'an?
