Why Is Blue So Rare In Nature?
There are no blue tigers. No blue bats, blue squirrels, or blue dogs Even blue whales aren't that blue. Animals come in almost all colors, but blue seems to be the rarest. But the best part is that when we find a blue animal, it looks great. Nature can't handle blue. To understand why this is so, we go through evolution, chemistry, and beautiful physics. But first, we need to understand why animals have any color at all, and to do that, we need to go look at some butterflies. Because butterflies are amazing, and if you don't think so, you're wrong. This is Bob Robbins. He is the curator of butterflies at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington. Butterflies are amazing. Make no mistake. They are a group of moths that have evolved to be active during the day, and being active during the day gives you an advantage: you can use light to communicate.

Why the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans Don't Mix
When you look at seas and oceans on a map, you might think they just flow into each other. It seems that there is only one big ocean, and people have just given different names to parts of it. Well, you'll be surprised how bright the lines are between them! The border between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans is like a border between two worlds. The two oceans seem to meet in an invisible wall that prevents them from flowing into each other and mixing their waters. Why the hell is this happening? We know for sure that there is no invisible wall inside, and water is water. What could prevent its mixing? The point is that water can also be different. The Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean have different densities, chemical compositions, salinities, and other characteristics. Their color shows that they are far from the same. Boundaries between two bodies of water with different physical and biological characteristics are known as ocean lines. Haloclines—the boundaries of waters of different salinities—are the most spectacular, and this is what we see at the meeting of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The famous explorer Jacques Cousteau discovered it while diving deep in the Strait of Gibraltar. The different layers of salt water seemed to be divided by a transparent membrane, and each layer had its own flora and fauna. Haloclines occur when the water in one ocean or sea is at least five times saltier than the other. You can create a halocline at home by pouring a glass of sea or colored salt water and adding fresh water. The only difference is that your haloclines are horizontal and oceanic haloclines are vertical. If you remember a few basic things about physics, you can argue that a denser fluid should eventually fall lower and a less dense fluid should eventually fall higher. If this were true, the boundary between the two oceans would not appear as a vertical but a horizontal line, and the difference in salinity between them would become less noticeable the closer they got to each other. So why isn't it happening here? First, the difference in water density between the two oceans is not so great that one sinks and the other rises. And yet it is enough not to let them mix. However, another reason is slowness. One inertial force, known as the Coriolis force, acts on objects as they move around a system of axes that, in turn, are also moving. Simply put, the Earth is moving, and the Coriolis force affects any object moving on it that is deflected. As a result, objects on the Earth's surface do not move straight ahead but tend to go clockwise in the northern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere. But the Earth moves slowly; it takes a whole day for the planet to make a circle around its axis. That is why the Coriolis effect occurs only at long intervals, in connection with cyclones or ocean currents. And therefore, the direction of currents in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans is different. It also prevents them from mixing. Another important difference between the two oceans is the strength of the molecular bond, or surface tension. Thanks to this force, the molecules of the substance stick to each other. Both oceans have completely different surface tensions, which prevents them from mixing as well. Perhaps they could gradually begin to mix over time, but since their currents are opposite, they simply do not have time to do so. In both oceans, we think it's just water, but its separate molecules only momentarily meet and then drift away with the ocean currents. But don't think that only the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans don't get along well! There are many places on the planet where the waters of two seas or rivers do not mix. There are also thermoclines—boundaries between waters of different temperatures, such as the warm waters of the Gulf Stream and the much colder North Atlantic. Chemoclines are the most amazing. These are the boundaries between waters with different microclimates and chemical compositions. The Sargassum Sea is the largest and best-known chemocline. It's a coastal sea within the Atlantic, but you can't miss it. Let's take a look at the most amazing features of the planet.
