"It's like a black hole because waves get sucked in and can't escape," said Jeff Steinhauer, a scientist at the Israel Institute of Technology and the corresponding author of the article recently posted on the ArXiv.org pre-print Web page."

"Since atoms move between the clouds faster than sound, any sound wave trying to escape will fall farther and farther behind, never able to escape the sonic event horizon."

(From the Discovery News article. The idea is that this phenomenon is in some way analogous to a black hole, so that by studying it one can actually make predictions about black holes.)
