hey guys thanks for watching beyond science it's Mike Chen it's probably weird to think that there are rivers lakes and even water falls within our oceans but they do exist because water density can change due to water temperature and sailing levels and researchers have recently discovered another one of these ocean lakes this time at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico but this lake it's a bit different because researchers notice that most of the sea creatures that wander into the lake did not come back out this lake lies nearly 3,300 feet below the surface is about a hundred feet in circumference about twelve feet deep and it looks like an underwater graveyard littered with bodies of sea creatures that had wondered inside due to its warm water temperature according to a report in the Journal of Oceanography the water in the lake within the sea also dubbed the Jacuzzi of despair is about five times as salty as the water surrounding it the water also has a high toxic concentration of methane and hydrogen sulfide which is why it does not mix with the surrounding waters it's dubbed a jacuzzi because water temperature inside the lake is 65 degrees Fahrenheit which is like a hot tub compared to water surround it this deadly Lake was likely formed as sea water seeped into the cracks in the seabed and mixed with the region's subsurface salt formations methane gas then bubbled up taking the deadly water with it next up let's talk about dark matter dark matter is something we've never seen but we think Dark Matter makes up up around at 27% of the universe although we've never seen it researchers think is there because of the gravitational effects it has a matter that we can see but according to a new paper by Professor Eric Valenti from the University of Amsterdam dark matter does not exist and apparently neither does gravity according to Professor van Lindy gravity is not a fundamental force of nature after all but rather an emergent phenomena he says our current ideas about space time and gravity urgently need to be rethought we have long known that Einstein's theory of gravity cannot work with quantum mechanics as large scales it seems gravity just doesn't behave the way Einstein's theory predicts next a mysterious and is coming from the ocean floor and it nobody knows what it is in northern Canada a pinging sound can be heard in the region throughout the summer the source of the sound is still a mystery with explanations ranging from mining to submarines to environmental activists using the sound to scare away wildlife in the area so anyways wouldn't be able to hunt them the Canadian military is also aware of the noise and says it's looking into it internal correspondence between the sources in the Department of National Defense obtained by CBC News suggests submarines were not immediately ruled out but we're also not considered a likely cause so I don't know if not subs that may be Santa's workshop getting ready for Christmas and finally are you sick of exams and all that memorization and stress don't you wish people could just realize your genius without having to force you to solve math problems well some scientists seem to agree with this because researchers from King's College London have used a new genetic scoring technique to predict academic achievement from DNA alone the research is based on a recent genome-wide Association study that examined almost 10 million single nucleotide polymorphisms which are the most common type of genetic variations among people and they have identified 74 genetic variants that were significantly associated with years of completed education their findings show that what makes students achieve differently in their educational achievement is strongly affected by DNA differences on average those with a higher polygenic score would obtain a grade between a and B whereas those with a lower score obtained an entire grade below of course this does not take into account of effort and we all know that just because you're talented doesn't make you successful so to summarize in this video we covered a super dangerous lake in the ocean that would melt you gravity may just be an illusion something is scaring away all the fish in northern Canada and the DNA testing may replace SATs in the future alright guys thank y'all so much for
