In summary, the Bermuda Triangle is an area in the Atlantic Ocean where a disproportionate number of ships and aircraft have gone missing; however, the disappearances there are not more mysterious than elsewhere in the ocean. The number of disappearances had been exaggerated by sloppy research.

What is Bermuda Triangle? Is gravitational Forces exist there or not?

If there were none then we would be using the location for space launches. :wink:
If the forces were significantly different at that location then there would be a 'hill' or 'valley' in the seawater.

I just feel like pointing this out, just in case anyone feels like citing a very unreliable documentary from History Channel which tries to claim that the Bermuda Triangle's caused by a Black Hole or Wormhole,

First of all, any black holes that are large enough to not starve are probably large enough to have a more large scale effect.

Second, it's History Channel. Almost nothing they do nowadays is reliable.

Not to mention that if it can suck airplanes and ships, it can suck all the water there.
Seriously who came up with that idea?

^ ^ lol :biggrin:

Actually, I remember reading that if you go through the official, documented disappearance incidents in the area, the statistics are not very different than any other (similar) area in the world.

Of course, aliens have been well known to alter statistics :biggrin:

Yep. Me too. Though I cannot back that up with citations. Except Wiki:


  • The number of ships and aircraft reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than in any other part of the ocean.
  • In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur were, for the most part, neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious;
  • Furthermore, Berlitz and other writers would often fail to mention such storms or even represent the disappearance as having happened in calm conditions when meteorological records clearly contradict this.
  • The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat's disappearance, for example, would be reported, but its eventual (if belated) return to port may not have been.
  • Some disappearances had, in fact, never happened. One plane crash was said to have taken place in 1937 off Daytona Beach, Florida, in front of hundreds of witnesses; a check of the local papers revealed nothing.
  • The legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery, perpetuated by writers who either purposely or unknowingly made use of misconceptions, faulty reasoning, and sensationalism
 

What is the Bermuda Triangle?

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where numerous aircrafts and ships have mysteriously disappeared. It is located between Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the southern tip of Florida.

What are some theories about the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle?

There are several theories about the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, including human error, violent weather conditions, and paranormal activity. Some also believe that the area is home to a powerful electromagnetic field that interferes with navigational equipment and causes compasses to malfunction.

Are there any scientific explanations for the Bermuda Triangle's mysteries?

While there is no conclusive scientific evidence to explain the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, there are some possible explanations. One theory suggests that the area experiences unique weather patterns, such as sudden and severe storms, that could have caused the disappearances. Another theory proposes that methane gas bubbles from the ocean floor could cause ships to sink and planes to crash.

What role do gravitational forces play in the Bermuda Triangle?

Some experts believe that gravitational forces may be responsible for the mysterious events in the Bermuda Triangle. The area is located near the point where the Earth's magnetic field and gravitational pull shift, which could potentially interfere with navigation and communication systems. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this theory.

Is it safe to travel through the Bermuda Triangle?

The Bermuda Triangle is a heavily traveled area, and millions of ships and planes pass through it safely each year. While there have been many unexplained disappearances, these incidents are rare and often have logical explanations. As with any journey, it is always important to be prepared for potential hazards and to follow proper safety protocols.
