Pseudoscience - The Bermuda Triangle

http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq8-1.htm


The Bermuda Triangle is an example of pseudoscience because it is this somewhat supernatural phenomenon that occurs, that is debated whether is credible or not. There is some weak evidence behind the myth of the Bermuda Triangle. Most of the ships have never been found, but some debris has been recovered. They say that it could be caused by illegitimate things such as aliens or supernatural forces. These claims are not possible to support, because there is no evidence. The ships have disappeared, but there is no scientifically possible cause proposed. The claim is easily fallen for because of the strange reoccurrence of the disappearing ships. Because it didn't just happen once, but numerous times, makes the claim seem believable.
