There have been many explanations forwarded as to what exactly has caused all those plans and ships to disappear into the Bermuda Triangle. Some of them actually seem to contain at least a slight amount of sense, while others are just so much insane X-Files conjecture. Which of these do you think makes the most sense? If any? After all, it has been estimated, don’t forget, that more planes and ships have gone mysterious missing in Lake Michigan alone than in the entire Bermuda Triangle. Is the Devil’s Triangle really just overblown myth, or could there actually be something more at stake involved?
Bermuda Triangle Theory Number One: A rip in the time-space continuum.
This Bermuda Triangle theory postulates the concept that there is a difference in the way the known physical laws of the universe works beneath the surface of this area of the Atlantic Ocean. The way it works is that those planes and ships that disappear will-or already have, I guess-reappeared at some point in the future. In other words, all those planes and ships never really disappeared and can never be recovered because they already exist somewhere else in an indeterminate future. Physicists since Einstein have theorized that time does not move in a straight line, but is more like a loop. If so, this could make sense. Of course, there is the water to have to worry about and the potential for drowning on your way to another dimension.
Bermuda Triangle Theory Number Two: Aliens.
Every mystery of the world always comes down, eventually, to aliens. Whether it was the creation of the pyramids or the Presidency of George W. Bush, aliens come up as an answer for all those maddeningly illogical events of human history. This theory received a mention in Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind when the crew of Flight 19 emerged at the Devil’s Tower near the end. The basis of this Bermuda Triangle explanation is that aliens living beneath the triangle are intent on kidnapping human beings. One theory has that visitors from another world take them back to their planet; others that it is the water itself the aliens are after and the planes and ships are just so much extra junk. One of the more interesting variations of the alien theory is very specific. It isn’t just aliens, but Venusians who have constructed a base deep beneath the surface. They chose life beneath the Atlantic Ocean because the air pressure there is in exact correspondence to their own atmosphere.
Never mind that Atlantis was never more than just a fable for Plato; people for millennia have, like those who take every word of the Bible literally, been hell-bent on proving it as true as the fact that a man could live inside a giant fish for a few days. The Atlantis theory contains some serious problems because the idea is based on the collapse of following a devastating war. If Atlantis sunk into the ocean, it would tend to make one believe that the people died, therefore there is nothing human going on in the world of bringing modern day planes and ships down to the ruins of this once-glorious continent. The explanation, therefore, rests upon the theory that because of the collapse of an entire continent beneath the ocean, it has created some kind of odd and uniquely overpowering gravitational pull that works to bring down from the air and the surface enormous vessels. The Atlantis theory behind the Bermuda Triangle, then, is based entirely upon there being an exceptional physical force that can be found nowhere else on the planet. And yet it apparently only works under certain conditions.
