This area were explored by scientists, journalists and filmmakers trying to find insight into paranormal happenings attributed to the region. The locations of many disappearances were within a geographical triangle in the Atlantic Ocean. The corners of the Bermuda triangle were between three axis points of Miami, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Bermuda. After several disputes, this so-called triangle gained the title "Devils Triangle," making the people believe the superstitions that the devil was fooling with lost travelers. It also brought to question whether aliens had a selected place on earth to abduct or it could be a time warps the living to another dimension.
Demetrius Cameron Gordwin 07/25/2008 Rogue Waves Since the first ship set sail on the deep blue sea there has been many stories and myths. Stories of pirates and their treasures and monsters that live in the deepest parts of the ocean. There were even tales of waves that were so high that they could swallow a ship and destroy it in a matter of minutes. They called them freak waves or massive waves. But like all old stories and myths, for centuries the idea of such a thing was only a folklore.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the technology magazine Popular Mechanics have investigated and rejected the claims made by 9/11 conspiracy theories. [14][15] The civil engineering community accepts that the impacts of jet aircraft at high speeds in combination with subsequent fires, not controlled demolition, led to the collapse of the Twin Towers.During the initial confusion surrounding the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the BBC published the names and identities of what they believed to be some of the hijackers. [144] Some of the people named were later discovered to be alive, a fact that was seized upon by 9/11 conspiracy theorists as proof that the hijackings were faked. [144][145][146] The BBC explained that the initial confusion may have arisen because the names they reported back in 2001 were common Arabic and Islamic names. [144] In response to a request from the BBC, the FBI said that it was confident to have identified all nineteen hijackers, and that none of the other inquiries had raised the issue of doubt about their identities.
There are many theories about what is going to happen, including: galactic alignment, prophecies of Armageddon, impossible scientific experiments, the Mayan-predicted apocalypse, and many more. Many scientists believe that galactic alignment in 2012 is going to bring natural and even cosmic disasters on earth. Galactic Alignment is when the sun is in position between the earth and the black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Many people believe that when the sun and earth become aligned with the black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy, this will bring about the end of the world in 2012 because it
When it does, it will envelope Mercury, Venus and eventually Earth. The only question is what catastrophe will destroy, or render this planet uninhabitable, before that time. In Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, the author gives a view of an earth that has been all but destroyed but gives the reader no specific cause for this broken world. Many ideas and theories have been given. Ranging from gamma ray bursts to nuclear
Odysseus chooses to pass by Skylla therefore he would only lose six men instead of a ship and most of his crew. Skylla appears fictional, unlike Kharybdis. Kharybdis is located in Sicily, in the strait between Sicily and the boot of Italy. Its “modern name is Garofalo” and it does pose as a threat just as in The Odyssey; though not a gigantic whirlpool, it still destroys ships (Darling 1999). Garofalo “forms when strong winds blow across the strait in the opposite direction to the flow of the tide” and it creates “a violent broken swell… which can be rough enough to overturn small vessels and create… navigation hazard[s] for larger ones” (Darling
Could our government have masterminded this horrific crime? Actually, I believe they did, I personally believe that the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and the crashing of Flight 93 does not accurately add up to it’s ashes. On September 11, 2001 the media/government reported that terrorists hi-jacked two U.S. commercial airplanes that struck the World Trade Center. Although how could the terrorist successively pass through security and board a plane with weapons, especially after the D.B. Cooper incident?

So whilst at the time of Ptolemy, the idea may have been a superstition held over from previous centuries of societal concepts of the world around us, we now have the evidence to dismiss the notion of a flat Earth as false. Above: Shot of the Earth taken by the crew of Apollo 11 from the Moon, from www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/ What I intend to focus on in this essay is the role superstition and Chinese beliefs play in the mobile phone industry. The belief in the magic of numbers can be found everywhere in Asian cultures. For instance, in the present Chinese culture: people are very superstitious about numbers that are divided into
"I see the nose of the plane clearly entering the frame of one video and the tail of the plane entering the Pentagon in the other video." Many conspiracy Web sites have posted the video loops and report the films are inconclusive or were manipulated by the government. "Some folks will never be convinced," Fitton said. "But I'm hoping that these videos will dissuade reasonable people from falling into a trap with these conspiracy theories." University of Florida law professor Mark Fenster, author of the book "Conspiracy Theories: Secrecy and Power in American Culture," said the poll's findings reflect public anger at the unpopular Iraq war, realization that Saddam Hussein did not have weapons of mass destruction and growing doubts of the veracity of the Bush administration.
