Is it true that unexplained happenings occur in the Bermuda Triangle?
The stories and fiction of the Bermuda Triangle have been carefully analysed. There is no evidence that the rate of marine accidents in that area is higher than would be expected for any hurricane-prone area. It has been shown and demonstrated that the whole thing is a media invention. People like mysteries and elaboration of this mystery has sold a lot of books and magazines, and has spawned many films. Where are the poles of a spherical magnet? I am quoting below a reply I gave to this question over five years ago. I suggest that questioners might benefit by consulting The Tribune archives. The magnets you are familiar with are produced by aligning the microscopic magnetic domains of a magnetic material. We assign magnetic moments even to individual charged particles whenever they have a spin angular momentum. Nuclei of atoms also have spins. Think of them as tiny magnets that, in a non-magnetised state of the bulk material, are randomly oriented. Magnetisation is a process of alignm
