What do u think about Bermuda triangle?..any theories? ******************************************** 11-22-05, 04:37 PM jusork I've written some story ideas about the bermuda triangle. One involves something like there being a portal to a different dimension or world. And another transports them into the sky where they enter some kind of other dimension. Kind of similar, really.
But I don't have any mystical theories. Most likely, they just got lost and a wave drowned the ship. If I remember, the meteor that eventually killed off the dinosaurs hit around there so perhaps there's something magnetic in that which might explain the reports of compass problems.
11-22-05, 04:58 PM DorianGreyed The meteor was off the east coast of Mexico, in the Gulf. The Triangle is off the east coast of the United States.

There are some people who think that the Triangle extends as far west as the Gulf as Mexico, and as far east as the azores.
11-22-05, 07:19 PM DorianGreyed The larger the area, the more one can claim "mysterious" ship sinkings, planes disappearing, etc. I read one account, years ago, about "another lost ship" in the "Dreaded Bermuda Triangle." he ship went down off Ireland. Roll Eyes If the Triangle keeps increasing in size at the present rate, soon the Edmund Fitzgerald will be one of its victims.
11-23-05, 08:27 AM Amna the site prefessor said contain relaible information says "evil humans with anti-gravity devices or other weird technologies"...this triabgle has nothing to do with technology...its nature..thats the way it was from a long time ago...
11-23-05, 08:52 AM Professor The article I cited, taken from The Skeptic's Dictionary, tactfully describes those explanations as "favorites of fantasy writers." It goes on to explain that "...the facts do not support the legend, that there is no mystery to be solved, and nothing that needs explaining." Several sober-minded references are given. I stand by the assertion that the article is reliable.

11-28-05, 05:38 AM tsaeb I just viewed the latest TV program on the subject, and there was discussion on the possibility of wormholes being the culprit.

Oh? What TV program was this?
11-29-05, 06:21 AM tsaeb SciFi had a new program, last Sunday night at 9:00 p.m., with Lester Holt narrating. It will likely reappear soon, because it seemed to me that SciFi will also be having a fictionalized series on the subject.
11-29-05, 10:28 PM jusork As long as it's got a wormhole, sounds like a pretty interesting story.
11-30-05, 05:40 AM tsaeb The wormhole was not in the planned fictional series; it was in the non-fiction program. The program was 2 hours, but it tends to be repeated for 1 or 2 hours. Try to catch both hours.
11-30-05, 05:35 PM Matiqua Wormholes are a very intriguing phenomenom. I remember I heard about a man who flew a plane over Antarctica (an American I think, on a love radio broadcast), went through a cloud, and when he came out of it, saw a land of green grass and hundreds of strange animals grazing. At that point, the transmission was cut off by the flight co-ordinators (or maybe the government), and the radio listeners were told that the pilot was suffering from a hallucination.
A wormhole to the past, or to a parallel dimension would explain what happened.
Its a pity that wormholes have been proven to not be able to exist (according to the laws of physics and mathematics), or so I've heard.
11-30-05, 05:44 PM DorianGreyed Thr tropical island, often under the earth's surface, story has been around for a long time. No credible evidence exists for it. AT least one polar explorer claims that there is a tropical land under one of the Poles. I think you have a greater chance of meeting a Sasquatch at Sears than the green land at the South Pole. But you can read one of the Tarzan stories for Burrough's version of that land. I think it was Tarzan at the Earth's Core. In Tarzan's world, it was called Pellucidar, I think.
11-30-05, 06:52 PM DorianGreyed Books have been written claiming that explorers to the North Pole, including Admiral Richard Byrd, have all seen this hole in the earth that connects to a hollow world inside the planet. There are people today who actually believe that a second world exists inside our own, with a second sun burning at the core of our globe.
One story talks about explorer Olaf Jansen who sailed northeast from Murmansk, Russia, and sailed through a lead in the ice on July 1, 1829 and accidentally entered the North Polar opening.
Amadeo Giannini’s book World Beyond the Poles told how Admiral Richard E. Byrd flew in 1947 beyond the North Pole and over a “land beyond the pole.” Giannini wrote that : “As progress was made beyond the Pole point, there was observed directly under the plane’s course iceless land and lakes, and mountains where foliage was abundant. Moreover, a brief newspaper account of the flight held that a member of the admiral’s crew had observed a monstrous greenish-hued animal moving through the underbrush.”
Other books on the subject include The Hollow Earth by Raymond Bernard, 1979, and Etidorhpa, by John Uri Llyod, 1890s. The latter was a story about a person that traveled to the “Inner Surface” of the Earth. - perdurabo10.tripod.com -------- Arnoldo de Azevedo, in his "Physical Geography," wrote as follows about the mysterious world below our feet, concerning which scientists know nothing beyond a few miles in profundity, entertaining only theories, hypotheses and conjectures to hide their ignorance:
"We have below, our feet an immense region whose radius is 6,290 kilometers, which is completely unknown, challenging the conceit and competence of scientists."
This statement is absolutely true. Scientists to date have penetrated only a few miles inside the earth, and what lies further down they know nothing about, depending only on conjectures, guesses and suppositions. Many of the commonly accepted theories and beliefs about the Earth's interior do not rest on any scientific basis, and seem to originate in the old ecclesiastical idea of hellfire in the center of the Earth, which is so much like the belief of scientists that the core of the Earth is a mass of fire and molten metal. Yet the scientific belief rests on no more positive evidence than the religious one. Both are merely suppositions without an iota of proof.
A very interesting article on the above subject appeared in the March 1962 issue of "Flying Saucers" magazine, written by its editor, Ray Palmer, who believes that flying saucers come from the hollow interior of the Earth through its polar openings. The article is entitled, "THE NORTH POLE - RUSSIAN STYLE. " It describes remarkable discoveries made by Russian Arctic explorers, which confirm the theory of a hollow earth and polar openings, as do the observations of Arctic explorers to which we shall refer below. The article bears the following subtitle:
"More Evidence of Mystery Lands at the Poles - Two Hundred Years of Exploration Have Given the Russians a New Concept of the Pole and Render all Previous Geographies Obsolete - Here are Indisputable Geophysical Facts!"
We shall now quote from this article:
"Many readers will remember the articles we have published giving our theories that there is something mysterious about each polar area of the Earth. We have suggested that there is much more "area" at both poles than it is possible to show on a globe map. We have pointed out Admiral Byrd's strange flights `beyond' the poles. We have mentioned the case of missing mountains and different branches of the military discounting the mapping ability of the other. We have even suggested that the Earth is hollow, and that giant 2,100 mile openings exist at the poles, and there is much evidence of the existence of these openings. We have pointed out that there is a great deal of secrecy and double-talk about the Arctic and Antarctic areas. We have even suggested that the flying saucers might come from this mystery area, or from inside the Earth. - The Hollow Earth -------- Perhaps you might have heard of Admiral Byrd, who supposedly flew his plane into the tunnels of the Earth. He saw so many things that should not have been there because when he entered the Earth, he disconnected from the relationship of time and space as you know them on the surface. So his experiences cannot be looked at with your perception of reality. - The Lemurian Influence -------- The Library of Congress, Science Reference Guides

That sounds almost identical to what I said - I must have misheard it, or been told something different. But the time, and the description of the land sounds almost identical to what I heard.
Like I said above, a wormhole would explain why all of these things appear to happen, but they have been proven to be physically impossible.
12-01-05, 05:06 PM DorianGreyed The problem with that theory is that many pole crossings have been made since then and no other scientist has reported seeing what was described. The Pole has been crossed over, under, on foot, by air, with snowmobiles, sleds, skis, satellite, and at least one submarine. Photographs have been taken all over the area around the Pole. No big green monsters were observed. Temperature readings have been taken all over the Polar region, with no reports of any type of tropical temps.
12-02-05, 05:38 PM Matiqua bermuda triangle Well, a wormhole wouldn't just leave it as it is. A wormhole is a tunnel through space and time, and would more than likely lead to an alternate, or parallel universe.
12-19-05, 03:50 AM mescrumptious I have to recommend this book to everyone because not only is it interesting, it gives facts to back up all wonders of the world. It covers everything from the bermuda triangle to the loch ness monster. You won't be able to put it down. Most public libraries have it.

They did mention wormholes in the fictional mini-series staring Sam Neil. We watched it. That's six hours of my life that I'll never get back...

This message has been edited. Last edited by: DorianGreyed,
I highly recommend the mini-series entitled "The Triangle", which is available for rent on DVD in the form of a three-part, two-disc movie.
Just came out a year or two ago. I won't include any spoilers. You'll just have to rent it to see their explanation for yourself. Great effects, and great casting, including Catherine Bell!
The latest that I have viewed on this topic is that according to Lloyd's of London, the insurer, there is no greater statistical likelihood of a ship going missing in the Bermuda Triangle than in some other places in the world, which is why their rates are not highest in that triangle.
Also, I saw on TV that there is a corresponding triangle off of Japan and that this triangle is directly through the earth, across from the Bermuda Triangle.
Nonsense. That's how all those retractable pens disappear. You must have noticed that , however many you buy, they have suddenly vanished the moment the phone rings and you need one to make a note.In fact you may see one in your wanderings around your home but when you go back to where you saw it it has gone even within seconds of your sighting !A 'wormhole'is the only rational explanation
Incidentally ,this is but one of those unacknowledged pieces of science to which formal scientists are blind . Another is the well -observed fact that paper clips are the larval stage of the wire coat-hanger. The female coat- hangers mate with the male ones in the closet or wardrobe and other favoured habitats e.g. forgotten suitcases (You may find them locked together in carnal embrace in there) The eggs are laid on clothes, often in pockets, and may get carried to dark desk drawers and crevices between stacks of papers etc.They then hatch into paper-clips. This explains how you suddenly find odd ones hidden about the house.The key stage in their survival is their being transmitted until they drop in a suitable pupating area e.g the floor of the closet, old suitcases.There they pupate to emerge as wire coat-hangers.(The suitcase is a particularly interesting habitat: I often find the larval stage, the paper-clip, in mine, as well as the adult coat- hangers) The life cycle is repeated again and again, eventually resulting in your having dozens of coat hangers, all wire, where you had left but a few.
