Scientists May Have Finally Cracked the Greatest Mystery Behind the Bermuda Triangle

The mystery behind the Bermuda Triangle, a place where hundreds of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under unexplained circumstances, might have finally been solved — at least that’s what a Science Channel show claims.


A team of American scientists from the University of Colorado analyzed satellite weather images of this notorious area and noticed a series of unusual hexagonal clouds on them. The meteorologists theorized that these clouds may act as real “air bombs.“
It is believed they are the main cause of the deadly blasts of air which can easily exceed 170 miles per hour. These hurricane-force winds literally ”blow up" the air and can generate waves of more than 45 feet in height.


No ship is able to survive such a storm, and no aircraft is able to withstand such a wind.
Clouds don’t typically form straight edges. However, judging by the satellite images, the Bermuda Triangle is an exception to this rule. The announcement of this theory has motivated a lot of further research. Scientists from all over the globe are trying to figure out what the reasons are for such anomalies.


Let us recall that the Bermuda Triangle is a large area of the Atlantic Ocean between Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. This region is notorious for its mysterious phenomena. Reports go back to 1945 when five American torpedo bombers and a plane that was sent out to find them vanished without a trace. Since that day, another 75 aircraft and several hundred ships have been lost. The latest tragedy happened in 2015 when the cargo ship "El Faro" disappeared in this region.

15 Cool Inventions That Will Take You to the Future

Scientists never cease to amaze us with inventions that fascinate us and cause the desire to have them right now. SciTech Haven found 15 ingenious innovations that are already in stores or will be there soon Levitating Desk Lamp Flyte  is a wireless light bulb floating in the air above a small wooden base in which magnets are embedded. This lamp is already actively used because it takes surprisingly little energy: if it’s on for 6 hours per day, the lamp can work for as long as 22 years.

With the help of special sensors, you can adjust the heat output in accordance with your wishes. A useful discovery that will be appreciated not only by active sports fans.   Surfa...

Facebook Shut Down An AI Program That Developed Its Own Language

Facebook might have accidentally gotten a little closer to answering Phillip K. Dick’s 1968 question of whether androids dream of electric sheep. The social media giant just shut down an artificial intelligence program after it developed its own language and researchers were left trying to figure out what two AIs were talking about. The AIs had found a way to  negotiate with one another , but the way they debated used English words reduced to a more logical structure that made more sense to the computers than to their human observers. What at first looked like an unintelligible failure to teach the AIs to talk instead was revealed as a result of the computers’ reward systems prizing efficiency over poetry. There are plenty of computer “languages” developed by humans to help computers follow human instructions: BASIC, C, C++, COBOL, FORTRAN, Ada, and Pascal, and more. And then there is TCP/IP, which helps machines “communicate” with one another across computer networks. B...
