The bermuda triangle is a black hole?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the hypothesis that the Bermuda Triangle may be a black hole, exploring various opinions and theories related to this idea. Participants examine the nature of the Bermuda Triangle, its associated phenomena, and potential explanations for mysterious events in the area.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses interest in the idea of the Bermuda Triangle being a black hole.
  • Another participant argues that if the Bermuda Triangle were a black hole, it would have absorbed all matter from Earth long ago, suggesting this is not a plausible explanation.
  • A different viewpoint emphasizes the need for substantial evidence before attributing mysterious events to extraordinary explanations like a black hole. This participant cites Lloyds of London, indicating that the risk of traveling through the Bermuda Triangle is comparable to other areas.
  • This participant also proposes that methane clathrate hydrate deposits in the region could explain some of the mysterious occurrences, suggesting that these deposits may lead to large releases of methane gas that could sink ships and down planes.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus, as there are multiple competing views regarding the nature of the Bermuda Triangle and the validity of the black hole hypothesis.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions and definitions regarding the phenomena in the Bermuda Triangle remain unresolved, and the discussion does not clarify the scientific basis for the claims made about black holes or methane deposits.

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.
