On the image above you see the swirling ocean between the tip of South America and Antarctica. It is not an attempt at copying Van Gogh but a representation of ocean eddies and currents. Though we have a fairly good understanding of the ocean conveyors or big ocean currents, our understanding of sub currents and eddies can be improved. I know eddies from the Sun, of course, where the plasma, not fluid like in the ocean, is an interesting phenomena to be studied - all with the great tool - mathematics. I can't say how much I love mathematics. It is the answer to everything. Oh yes. Don't even try to argue with me on that. :-)
