Spring time is right around the corner (or so I hope) and with the change comes migrating birds of course! One of my favorite sites is a female osprey tending her nest on an uplifted platform. Each time I see one I am so grateful for Rachel Carson who had the courage and gumption to […]

The Beneath the Waves Film Festival is back for its third year and is currently accepting submissions! This festival is entirely student-run and is held in conjunction with the Benthic Ecology Meeting, a scientific conference. Alexandra Warneke, a student committee member for the festival, states, “the goal is to encourage widespread science communication by inspiring […]
No. I mentioned in the very first BCS blog entry that the horseshoe crab is a “sweetheart of an animal” and I will continue to defend that statement. Some people may think that the tail spine, or telson, is poisonous. What the telson is simply used for is to flip the animal over when a […]
Here are some more sample questions from the Consortium for Ocean Leadership‘s popular National Ocean Science Bowl. These questions come from the Social Science section. Good luck! 1.) How often have men descended to the Challenger Deep? a) Once b) Twice c) Three times d) Never (The Challenger Deep is 36,000 feet deep along the […]
The current closest to the ocean floor is moving offshore and dumps small piles of sand right at the wave break area. The sand accumulates to various degrees, and regardless it makes the water much shallower where you stand. Now, the sandbars that I am thinking of are very long and are parallel to the […]
Fulmar is a name given to the group of scavenger seabirds that inhabits the North and South Poles. Shearwaters and petrels are in this group of birds that have been nicknamed ‘stinkers’. The great fulmar of the Antarctic has a wingspan of over 6 feet and is almost 3 feet tall.
This isn’t the typical list of the most popular Beach Chair Scientist posts throughout the year. Those posts typically include questions typed into a search bar such as ‘Do sharks have bones?’ or ‘How much salt is in the ocean?’. Not surprisingly, my favorite posts aren’t focused on straight up interpretation, but rather have more […]
Looks like seaweed isn’t the only ocean organism used to make ice cream a special treat these days, particularly if its glow-in-the-dark ice cream. Charlie Francis, British ice cream creator, partnered with a Chinese scientist interested in understanding the nuances of jellyfish proteins, to synthesize the fluorescent jellyfish protein specifically for use as part of […]
The Latin name for osprey, Pandion haliaetus, means “bone breaker” and explains quite well how the bird of prey gets his main source of food, fish. Ospreys plummet down from almost 30 stories above water and use their barbed talons to grab onto mullet, menhaden, or other fish found in estuaries. These barbs can be […]

is it possible that the spirits of the ancestors of Africans are trying to retaliate the bad ways,some whites treated them during the slave trade.After all when they were carrying them across the sea,some fell into the seas,as a matter of fact most of them were sick and died cause for fear of infection of diseases they were thrown into the river.
i can solve the mystery
I think it must have been a black hole or something
i think this is the point where gravitational force is maximum.
tripp out
salam
i think as we muslims believe is correct
IT IS SOMETHING DIVINE
the capitol of the last divine link IMAM MEHDI(a.s)
the things happening is so different. i will try and find the scerete of bermuda triangle. its my one of the aim
Mystery has been solved. There is an active Valcano under the sea.
Regards
I thought the bermuda triangle was located off Ponce Inlet FL. and New Symerna Beach Fl Why does it say otherwise. It has a picture showing Miama and it sould have a Picture starting with Daytona Beach FL or Ponce Inlet FL.
angelo how can u solve the mystery??????
Sayed Agha Ali..You terribly mistaken! there is NO such a thing in Islam..Imam Mehdi is going to be recognised in Makkah. Islam might have NO link whatsoever to the Bermuda Triangle!
i think that its a kind of ocean flood nothing to worry about.
i think there is something magnetic power in that region thats why these all are happening.
I actually thought the Bermuda triangle was more mysterious than what i just read but its not. if there are ships passing through it every day it must be like any other part of the ocean. But if there is something more to it then who ever wants to solve the mystery must have an interview with the Creator Himself He Knows what is going on there.
We need spiritual intervention to solve the problem .
there is some natural power which attracts everythingcomes close to him.
I sailed singlehanded in a 10 meter yacht from San Juan, Puerto Rico, from 22 January 2007 thru the Bermuda triangle and survived. It aint a threat like everybody thinks!
its kida scary. somthing to do with neuclear physics!!!
Its a beauty by nature
Hey, prince what do you mean by him?
send me document bermuda
triangle
Hey im a muslim…
not really too religious tho :$
but this is my theory
in the quraan it says jaal is still on earth in a cave
this only fits in so well that god put jaal in one of these islands and put a boundry so no man could reach the jaal
Hey all.
God knows better who is there, what is that eg Gravitational Force ? ? ?
i think there must be something like a gravitational force which is pulling the ships,air crafts etc.so research is to be done on that place
I love this information
there r some creations of allah which d technology could not login still now..!!!!
i believe it is the place where gravitation force is maximum . eventhough we cant believe the missings of so many metres big and heavy tonnes planes and ships r missing. there must be a black hole. is there a relation between this triangle and2012. what do u say . both r misterious and should be known. get me some documents about it. what about the history in past says about it.
hi ! i’v done intesive research on the whole phenomena and i have come to a conlusion that completely dematerialises any unscientific perception of the phenomena.
1.)The Bermuda triangle is one of the only 2 places on earth that the magnetic compass points to the true north!
2.)Most incidents have been logically explained!
3.)ships & planes go through every day,it has all been blown out of reasonable proportions!
conclusion: it is amere case of earth’s natural magnetism interfering with the ships’ &planes’ normal operating patterns!

i want to know aboyt bermuda triangle briefly
ok, well since most of the mysterious disapearances are aircraft- it is either stronger gravitational pull- or a magnetic field, which would affect compasses. since magnetivity doesnt affect ships as much as an airplane- whereas if u lose the bearing of your plane’s altitude, wing degree, or direction, your fate is close to sealed. with ships- you can always look at the sun or stars for a direction, and you would know if the ship is upside down. a stronger gravitational pull would; also effect planes much more than ships. there are many different theories about this, but these are the scientific facts.
IT IS AMAZING
hey! i m a muslims.
According to me in bermuda something natural powers exist which ALMIGHTY ALLAH don’t wanna show us now it can be related from judgment day (the end of the earht) or it can be related from DAJJAL that he live there. that’s ALL…
God is great,he kept somethings as secret to we human,that even the greatest scientific inventions can’t unravel. If he should make everything straight forward and clear… how are we going to understand that he is the lord of the universe. Please i’ll like to appeal to all those muslim brothers to speak there mind and stop using religion as reference to what they ain’t sure about.Happy boxing day fellas
it is nothing to do with gravity being at its strongest point because as physics has proved gravity is always constant.
i personally think it will be something to do with electrical storms and bad weather.
