The bermuda triangle is a black hole?

AI Thread Summary
The Bermuda Triangle has been speculated to be a black hole, but this theory lacks evidence as a black hole would have absorbed Earth's matter long ago. While there are unexplained incidents in the area, attributing them to a black hole is considered excessive. Lloyds of London states that the risk of traveling through the Bermuda Triangle is comparable to other maritime routes. Recent theories suggest that large releases of methane gas from clathrate hydrates may explain some of the mysterious events, potentially accounting for several global mysteries. Further discussions on this topic can be found in the linked thread.

If BT was a black hole then it would have absorbed all matter of Earth and radiated it out as energy a long time ago.
 
Before we assign any fantastic explanations, we need to have something fantastic to explain. Although there are some inexplicable events related to the area known as the BT, this is far from demanding that anything so incredible as a black hole is responsible. According to Lloyds of London, the worlds largest maritime insurance company, the risk of traveling the BT is no greater than anywhere else.

It now appears that deposits of methane clathrate hydrate in this area may produce occasional large releases of methane gas capable of sinking ships and downing airplanes. If there was a mystery to the BT, this is almost certainly the cause. I suspect that these deposits will eventually account for several mysteries around the planet.
 

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
