The Bermuda Triangle

In this presentation, Dr. Shermer addresses the topic of The Bermuda Triangle and some of the cognitive biases and processes that lead us to incorrect beliefs about phenomena. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and surface vessels reportedly disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to the paranormal or supernatural or extraterrestrial intelligences, but evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and numerous official agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean.

  2. From the desk of Papia Bose says:

    Yeh ! I agree with DIMPY SHARMA. I think its the massive gravitational pull of the Earth thats taking the lives of so many innocents. Let us leave it on the scientists to work on it and prove to the world what the truth might be.

    Let us all pray to God or whoever you wish to, so that this mysterious natural turmoil gets over and innocents are saved as soon as possible.

    Hi, To ALl,
    But I want to say this that bermuda Triangle is nothing but a natural fact or a part of world , i Think each and every country can but there all garbage and waste poly thin to control or prevent our nature by making use of Bermuda Triangle as a flush out of Earth. and to know the history for this , IT IS A BLACK HOLE . WHICH CAN’T BE IDENTIFIED FROM ONE SIDE , ANY ONE HAS TO MOVE FROM SECOND SIDE OF EARTH TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS .
    BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO NEWTON’S LAW IT IS ALSO LIKE VICE – VERSA .
    EVERY Action of Force has a equal and opposite Reaction …

      with respect to your answer i would say that i think there’s nothing much mysterious about it… and the informations i have about the bermuda triangle signifies that itz because of more gravitational force…. i think scientists will soon find out the accurate reason behind it..and i also want to know more about the lake of no return…
      Hope u agree with my answer…!!!!!

    We know The day will come when Dajal will appear as the symbol of devil. But A Force holds all the world in his hand is always there and will remain there. Allah Almighty will sent Hazrat Isa who will demolish the powers of dajal. It is a universal truth and it will happen. So, OH! people of the world do not worry about it believe in one God who created man and will give death to man. The people who remain on right path can get the happiness of God. Do not trust on Dajal, he is the son of devil

    • Haraman says:

      Yes it is right that one day dajjal will come and he will destroyed everything thing but people dont forget ALLAH will sent HAZRAT Isa ali slam to come and destroy dajjal….

  10. khalaq Naz Khan says:

    Bermuda Triangle is term introduced by jewish minded American. The Proof is that if we look carefully to the Dollars’ image there we can see the triangle having an eye on it. It is the symbol of Dajal. American in their duty introduce it to the world as terror. All the world belongs to Alllah. There nothing happen in the world without Allah Almighty will. So, the concept of this triangle is way to introduce the terror of Dajal which shameful for the scientists to accept it.

    • non insane female from US says:
