Talk:Bermuda Triangle

Edit request on 15 May 2012

To the "Music" section, I would add:

• Roky Erickson wrote and recorded a song called "Bermuda" that is about the Bermuda triangle.

Lyrics can be found, among other places, here: http://www.darrelplant.com/blog_item.php?ItemRef=1307

Is there a third party source that establishes the song is in some manner significant? For pop culture references we need an indication of significance, not simply existence, as Wikipedia articles shouldn't include indiscriminate lists of pop culture references. Thanks!

Definition of the Bermuda Triangle

The definition of the Bermuda Triangle as being bounded by Miami, San Juan and Bermuda does not seem to be unanimous. Back in the 70's when this became a popular faux-documentary subject, the corners were supposed to be Bermuda, Miami ( or the tip of Florida, however that is defined ), and Cape Hatteras North Carolina. I recollect that my first trip to Cape Hatteras was interesting because it was the corner of the Bermuda Triangle. So who decided, and when, that Cape Hatteras was out and San Juan was in ? Is this "official" ? A cursory check on the Internet indicates that I am not the only person who thinks this. The second section of the article should at least mention that there are differing views on how the triangle should be defined. Eregli bob ([[User talk: Eregli bob|talk]]) 05:49, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

To this I´ll just quickly add that i´ve seen the lower point being shown as Barbados quite a few times. Here on wiki is actually first time i see San Juan used as an endpoint. DW75 (talk) 21:45, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Methane Hydrate release theory debunked

An October 2012 episode of Curiosity on the Discovery channel showed scientists attempting to sink a real 25 ft sailboat releasing huge quantities of air bubbles beneath it under water. The team we're unable to sink the vessel in real world scale no matter how much h as they released under the water.

Tunguska link?

Tunguska event Tunguska_event#Speculative_conjectures Black hole In 1973, Albert A. Jackson and Michael P. Ryan, physicists at the University of Texas, proposed that the Tunguska event was caused by a small (around 1017 kg to 1019 kg) black hole passing through the Earth.[54][55] This hypothesis is considered flawed, as there was no so-called exit event—a second explosion occurring as the black hole, having tunnelled through the Earth, shot out the other side on its way back into space. Based on the direction of impact, the exit event would have occurred in the North Atlantic, ...

Many people (and websites and such) have suggested the possibility that there is a link between the Tunguska event and the Bermuda triangle. Perhaps this deserves a mention in the article? What if there was no 'exit event' and the Bermuda triangle is the home of the object (possibly a black hole) that caused the Tunguska impact? The theory of two university physicists was discredited as flawed because there was no 'exit event' around the North Atlantic, which happens to be where the Bermuda triangle is. Additionally, there is no mention in ALL HISTORY of the 'bermuda triangle'

until around the 1950s, that just being the earliest recorded/ known disappearances, post the Tunguska event.

add to Influence on culture In a Season 6 episode of the TV show The X-Files, the show takes place in a luxury passenger liner which has mysteriously appeared on the edge of the Bermuda Triangle. Leohui (talk) 16:02, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Popular culture references should be accompanied by a secondary source establishing that the pop culture reference is in some manner significant. Please review WP:IPC for more information about this. Thanks. Doniago (talk) 14:11, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

What is "of significance"?

In the "Influence on culture"-section, several information is removed due to "no source for significance". Who decides what's of significance? How is the fact that someone made an album inspired by the Bermuda Triangle or that someone made a single called Bermuda Triangle of any sort of significance whatsoever? If no one argues against this post, I will make edits to the section in question.
