Scientific Discovery Do You Know?
Scientists
have discovered this darkness by means of special equipment and
submarines that have enabled them to dive into the depths of the oceans.
It
is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are
clouds....”, that the deep waters of seas and oceans are covered by
waves, and above these waves are other waves. It is clear that the
second set of waves are the surface waves that we see, because the verse
mentions that above the second waves there are clouds. But what about
the first waves? Scientists have recently discovered that there are
internal waves which “occur on density interfaces between layers of
different densities.
Below Mentioned Figure: Internal waves at
interface between two layers of water of different densities. One is
dense (the lower one), the other one is less dense (the upper one).
(Oceanography, Gross, p. 204.)
The internal waves cover the deep
waters of seas and oceans because the deep waters have a higher density
than the waters above them. Internal waves act like surface waves.
They can also break, just like surface waves. Internal waves cannot be
seen by the human eye, but they can be detected by studying temperature
or salinity changes at a given location.
Another Miracle Of the Qur'aan
The great Allah has said in the Qur'aan:
Or
(the unbelievers’ state) is like the darkness in a deep sea. It is
covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds.
Darknesses, one above another. If a man stretches out his hand, he
cannot see it.... (Qur'aan, 24:40)
This verse mentions the
darkness found in deep seas and oceans, where if a man stretches out his
hand, he cannot see it. The darkness in deep seas and oceans is found
around a depth of 200 meters and below. At this depth, there is almost
no light (see figure 15). Below a depth of 1000 meters there is no
light at all.1 Human beings are not able to dive more than forty meters
without the aid of submarines or special equipment. Human beings
cannot survive unaided in the deep dark part of the oceans, such as at a
depth of 200 meters.
