Water is the most common substance on Earth, covering more than a third of the entire surface of our planet. The variety of shapes and sizes of this life-giving force is amazing. Water is omnipresent, it is present in all living organisms and fills the numerous depressions of the world.
Meanwhile, for modern man, the water element remains one of the greatest mysteries in the world, since people have studied only 5% of the oceans. Innovative technologies and costly research using bathyscaphes made it possible to partially explore the unique world under many kilometers of water, opening the veil to the secrets of the deep sea.
Who would have thought that ancient monsters and outlandish creatures were hidden under the calm surface of the water, about which legends were made, which were considered just another fiction of a science fiction writer and never left their shelter at the bottom of the ocean? Scientists continue to hypothesize about the existence of an underwater civilization and alien objects that hide seadepths. But some mysterious events that took place in the depths of the sea cannot be explained even by experienced specialists.
Legendary ship, her first and last launch ("Titanic")
The most notorious tragic event of the last century was the sinking of the Titanic, the largest ship of its time, the world's marvel of shipbuilding. The owners self-confidently believed that no one and nothing in the world could crush this giant, except the Lord, and therefore his unexpected, catastrophic fate shocked the entire world community. According to the official version, the giant ship collided with an iceberg, although the sea was calm at night and did not pose a threat. Due to significant damage to the hull, the liner sank to the bottom of the ocean, forever writing its name on the list called "Secrets of the Deep Sea".
Irony of fate or coincidence? The Unsinkable Giant
As time passed, other reasons were found for the shipwreck of the mighty Titanic and its tragic descent into the depths of the sea. The mysteries of the catastrophe have partly been brought to the surface thanks to research that has reliably established that:
- Telegraph operators ignored reports of drifting ice by sending telegrams, which was an expensive pleasure, available only to the we althiest passengers.
- The belated awareness of the collision and the impossibility of performing a rescue maneuver are also due to the lack of binoculars from the lookout.
- She also played a cruel jokeoverconfidence of the captain and his unwillingness to change course or reduce the speed of the ship.
- The huge number of victims was the result of the inattention of the liner workers to the fullness of the boats. In a panic, the boats were half empty.
- On the giant ship, there was not a single red rocket announcing an imminent disaster.
Through a hundred years and the depths of the sea. Merciless destruction of luxury
For more than a century (since 1912) a giant liner has been resting at the bottom of the ocean. The last two decades have had a devastating effect on the ship. The causes of irreparable damage entail the next secrets of the deep sea. The Titanic suffered from bounty hunters who plundered the ship and even the mast lighthouse, and from the destructive action of bacteria that turned the best steel of the time into miserable pieces of rusty metal.
Without a trace and consequence. Disappearances in the Western Atlantic
The category "Secrets of the deep sea" also includes the mysterious disappearances of aircraft and swimming facilities in the most mystical place in the Atlantic Ocean - the Bermuda Triangle. What versions have never left the covers of periodicals of the last century! Guests from other planets, fantastic monsters, and even the evaporation of a unique nature that produce the depths of the sea were blamed for the disappearance of ships and planes without a trace. Mysteries led scientists further and further, thanks to which amazing stories about black holes, jumps through time space and quitelogical conclusions about the experiments of American intelligence agencies. However, none of the theories has stood up to scrutiny. All of them were doomed to be considered unsubstantiated.
Inexplicable but true: the location of the Bermuda Triangle
For three decades, 37 aircraft and 38 ships, as well as a nuclear submarine and a balloon, have disappeared. Until 1975, mysterious cases continued, which were called "Secrets of the Deep Sea". The Bermuda Triangle, according to scientists, has an area of 1 million km22 and is located between the islands of the same name, the southern cape of Florida and Puerto Rico. A characteristic feature of this place is considered to be a multi-tiered system of air and sea flows.
Questions in the air. Unresolved Disputes
Incomprehensible and inconsistent with the conclusions of common sense, the secrets of the deep sea still remain unsolved. More and more new information gives rise to new questions, many of which cannot be answered.
The sinking of the Titanic has become a kind of trigger mechanism that has created a subject for ongoing controversy among both the public and brilliant scientists. Was the iceberg the cause of the wreck of the giant ship, designed to stay afloat in any unexpected disaster? What ruined the gigantic liner, interrupting its first solemn conquest of the water element? It's all the fault of evil fate and excessive confidence inIs the vessel unsinkable or is there a more trivial reason behind the disaster?
Even less clarity on the Bermuda Triangle case. The disappearance of dozens of pieces of equipment and people without the slightest clue or trace gives rise to fertile ground for the most grandiose assumptions, which cannot be confirmed or refuted at the present stage.
Scientists continue to explore the smallest details and facts, compiling statistics and theories, as well as developing instruments to further study the oceans. It remains to be hoped that the innovations created by future technologies will shed light on the dark mysteries of the past, lurking at the very bottom of the sea.
