Atlantic and Pacific Ocean meet at the point of mid Ocean.

The title of this post is taken from the title of the youtube video, but...
...the title is very misleading (and in fact, all wrong.) Though it's very cool to see, it's NOT two oceans meeting.

Its glacial melt water meeting the off shore waters of gulf of Alaska. The reason for this strange phenomenon is due to the difference of water density, temperature and salinity of the glacial melt water and off shore waters of gulf of Alaska, making it difficult to mix. Its falsehood to think that this two waters don't mix up at all. They do eventually mix, the borders between these two water bodies is not static, they move around and disappear altogether.

Tomorrowland - Crazy Touch Pin + Governor Nix

mine!

...and the apocalypse speech...

Let's imagine. If you glimpsed the future and you were frightened by what you saw, what would you do with that information? You'd go to, who? Politicians? Captains of industry? And how would you convince them? Data? Facts? Good luck. The only facts they won't challenge are the ones that keep the wheels greased and the dollars rolling in. But what if... what if there was a way of skipping the middle man and putting the critical news directly into everyone's head? The probability of wide-spread annihilation kept going up. The only way to stop it was to show it... to scare people straight. What reasonable human being wouldn't be galvanized by the potential destruction of everything they have ever known and loved? To save civilization, I would show its collapse. And how do you think this vision was received? How do you think people responded to the prospect of imminent doom? They gobbled it up like a chocolate eclair. They didn't fear their demise, they repackaged it! It can be enjoyed as video games... as TV shows... as books, movies, the entire world wholeheartedly embraced the apocolypse and sprinted toward it with gleeful abandon. Meanwhile, your earth was crumbling all around you. You've got simultaneous epidemics of obesity and starvation - explain that one! Bees and butterflies start to disappear.. the glaciers melt... algea blooms... all around you the coal mine canaries are dropping dead and you WON'T TAKE THE HINT! In every moment there is the possibility of a better future, but you people won't believe it - and because you won't believe it, you won't do what is necessary to make it a reality. So you dwell on this so terrible future. You resign yourselves to it for one reason: because that future doesn't ask anythig of you today.
