Burmuda Triangle

 


squirrelmaster
what is up with that,

i just watched a mini-series on Sci-fi called "The Triangle",
it was about time-space ripples and such which transport ships and planes to other dimensions, by electro-magnestism, by the navy.

so what really is the burmuda triangle, is it some "magical" force, or is it what the mythbusters say, that it's really just methane pockets???

but what about all the missing wrecks??

The bermuda triangle covers a triangular area near the bermuda islands near the carribean and atlantic.

The ocean in the area has a geothermal vent that releases gases. Sometimes these gases are released rapidly into the ocean and into the atmosphere directly above. The energy from these geothermal vents would be enough to disrupt aircraft ships.

To me, the methane pockets would make sense. Underneath this "triangle" there are vast resevoirs of methane. Periodically, this methane is released in large quantities.

It is proven that the methane bubbles could overwhelm and sink a ship, and can also cause airplane engines to cut out.

So, it would make sense that aircraft and ships would disappear in there. The ship could be overwhelmed in only seconds, accounting for the "dissapearing into thin air" phrase.

Its quite a simple math problem really, just put it in this format seen here. Take 1 ship full of stupid people+methane pockets=1 sunken ship full of stupid people. Simple in its design yet true Smile

I think that it is not only the methane pockets but also some electromagnetic force that engulfs the area known as the "Bermuda Triangle".

There is definitely no magic invovled. In about 20 years from now, I think that we will find out more about the secrets of the Bermuda Triangle.

thay say that the magnetic distortion is to be guilty for accidents in that region, near Japan is also one place with the same weird disoperances of ships and aiplanes, but this day there is not much info of bermuda tiangle beeing dangerous place on earth, or am I just mistaken

There is simply no evidence of a bermuda triangle. Otherwise it will be in our science books already.

I read an explanation once, but I forgot what it was, it sounded very acceptable and had nothing to do with "weird science". I'll look it up.

The explanation I've always heard has nothing to do with any science except statistics plus a little run-of-the-mill human incompetence.

If you take a triangle of that same size and put it over any area of the ocean, the rate of disappearance is not significantly higher than it is for the Bermuda Triangle for the same period of time. So there's nothing particularly dangerous about that area. Planes fly over it all the time, boats go through it every day - hell, even I've flown through part of it myself.

Furthermore, the reports of mysterious disappearances have been greatly exaggerated. Sometimes boats got declared missing that turned up late. The missing part was recorded, but not the returning. Other times, the stories of the "mysterious" things reported by pilots and sailors (like spinning compasses and green glowing skies) were exaggerated and/or misunderstood.

So, the Bermuda Triangle does not need to have a weird science, or paranormal, explanation. It can be explained quite well by statistics and proper research.

you, know
i dont think there is a mysteri(es) in that area,particularly
the sunken ship and plane are happening all around the world
its just a media blow up, for mystery lover

some say its methane, magnetic field, UFO, devil kingdom, idont know
which ones is the truth
God say ' human only know magical thing, instead just a little bit'

I totally agree with you there. Due to lack of knowledge, people tend to exaggerate things out of proportion. It does not mean if the authorities have problems explaining it, it is already paranormal, it simply means they do not have enough information yet to conclude safely. They are not in the business of gossip.

It is better to say, I do not have the answer yet or simply I don't know.

Nothing paranormal there either. lolz.

I don't know about Bermuda Triangle much. But when hearing there are methane pockets, electomagnetic force, etc it makes me think that why scientists do not use these to make energy. Sad But we do need energy. Then this will make think anyone that there is no such things.Rolling Eyes

My theory is, it's just weather abnormalities. Maybe there was a gigantic whirlpool with explosive thunder bolts brewing down there and suck all the ships in and airplanes flying in the vicinity.

Well in the end we only need to know one thing about the bermuda triangle, it made a great scifi tv series that was fun to watch Smile Also if you can do watch it, i forgot the name of the show but its quite good Smile

my teacher once told me that the bermuda triangle may contain some sort of chemicals which is able to vaporise metals or ay substace. dun ask me whats the chemical name as i dunnoe but she said that this chemical can be used to burn things and it would be totally vaporised. so perhaps within the triangle there are these sort of chemicals so when aircraft, ships enter it, the chemical in the air and water to just "burnt" the machines up. just stating what my teacher shared with us
