Blogpost 3: Bermuda Triangle's answers to series of unfortunate disappearances

     Have you ever been so interested in finding the answers to the mysteries of the world? When I was young, (until know) I was very obsessed with this idea. On the peak of my research regarding the unsolved mysteries of the world, I came to know the "Bermuda Triangle"

    Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle) is an undefined region located along Florida , Puerto Rico and Bermuda. Numerous cases of mysterious disappearances have been recorded during the late 1950's to 1960's. It is said to be lingered by unknown life forms trying to get some humans to be examined. Also, it is believed that the place is a portal to another dimension.

    People became obsess with this mystery because even the rescuers sent to recover the debris and evidences of the said disappearances returned empty-handed. The Bermuda triangle's fame boomed during the expedition of Christopher Columbus. On October 8,1492, he wrote in his log that weird readings were shown by his compass while sailing at the ocean. He didn't told his crew about it but an uncertain compass not knowing where to pint north is certainly an alert that must be said. Three (3) days later, Columbus saw a strange flash of light from the sky and decided to return with his crew to Spain. 

    I read a certain article entitled "The truth about Bermuda Triangle" by Emily Upton of gizmodo.com wherein she said certain explanations about the reason behind the sudden disappearances on the Triangle. She gave different sources of books regarding her explanation. She explained that the unstable magnetic property of the place makes the compass point to the true north and makes the compass dance. Normally it points on the magnetic north. The difference between the two is called the Magnetic Variation. She even stated that, "it turns out magnetic variation is something ship captains (and other explorers) have known about and had to deal with pretty much as long as there have been ships and compasses. Dealing with magnetic declination is really just "Navigation by Compass" 101 and nothing to be concerned about, nor anything that would seriously throw off any experienced navigator." 


    But, would these explanations make people believe that the Bermuda Triangle is not hunted by different lifeforms? The magnetic property of the places on Earth are said to be different from each other and scientist said that Bermuda triangle is one of the two most unstable places in the planet. 

    I read a certain article that strongly supported the logical explanation regarding the Triangle. An article entitled "Bermuda Triangle mystery finally solved?" by Ivan Sanderson of "thecontroversialfiles.net" added that Natural gas is the culprit behind the disapperances of ships and planes within the place. The evidence was laid out by a research paper published in the American Journal of Physics. He said that professor Joseph Monaghan and an honor student named David May hypothesized that a large methane of bubble may be the reason why the expeditions in Bermuda disappears out of nowhere. He even stated that, "Monaghan and May also discovered some surprising properties of Methane bubble when it interacts with a ship. The two has assumed that when a bubble broke into the surface it would burst, creating a depression. They envisioned a ship falling into a depression, riding through it and coming through basically unscathed. the test revealed something entirely different,"


     Basically, one of the world's most unexplained mystery is nothing but a work of science. The gossips regarding the unknown life form lingering there and portals leading to other dimension is nothing but a myth. Bermuda Triangle is just like any other places with strange magnetic property causing unfortunate events to happen. Who knows, maybe someday, someone can make a ship that can alter the magnetic variation of the place and become passable.
