A Scientist Says He’s Solved the Bermuda Triangle, Just Like That

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:

• An Australian scientist says probabilities are the leading cause of the Bermuda Triangle disappearances. And he’s not the only one.

• Add in suspect weather, and iffy plane and boat piloting, and Karl Kruszelnicki believes there’s no reason to believe in the Bermuda Triangle phenomenon.

• While the conspiracy of the Bermuda Triangle has existed for decades, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association and Lloyd’s of London has long championed the same ideas.

Pick any one of the more than 50 ships or 20 planes that have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in the last century. Each one has a story without an ending, leading to a litany of conspiracy theories about the disappearances in the area, marked roughly by Florida, Bermuda, and the Greater Antilles.

Australian scientist Karl Kruszelnicki doesn’t subscribe to the Bermuda Triangle’s supernatural reputation. Neither does the United States’ own National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA). Both have been saying for years that there’s really no Bermuda Triangle mystery. In fact, the loss and disappearance of ships and planes is a mere fact of probabilities.

“There is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur with any greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the ocean,” NOAA wrote in 2010.

And since 2017, Kruszelnicki has been saying the same thing. He told The Independent that the transparent volume of traffic—in a tricky area to navigate, no less—shows “the number [of ships and planes] that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on a percentage basis.” He says that both Lloyd’s of London...

“science communicator”
I have noticed on several of the Documentary TV channels which are no longer documentary but show UFOS ghosts BOOGER MEN, Yeti and other such nonsense use these so called science communicators. One is an editor for a Magazine and seems to get really excited about what he “sees”. “WOW! What is that thing!”
I learned decades ago if you aRe going to have a TV show about anything weird you better show something weird EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO FAKE IT.
