Bermuda Triangle

Bermuda triangle

The Bermuda triangle is a stretch over the Atlantic Ocean. Bordered by Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, the location became famous on account of the strange disappearances of ships, as well as aircrafts in the area. A number of supernatural explanations have been put forward in regard to the mysterious disappearances in this area.

However, many probable logical explanations for the missing vessels include hurricanes, earthquakes, as well as magnetic fields, which render navigation devices worthless. But, most people would not like to accept such boring explanations and would instead opt for more interesting options like alien abduction, or giant squids or getting sucked into another dimension. The following is a list of supernatural theories, which have been quite popular:

Presence of a time warp is one of the most popular theories of all times. With many people claiming to be lost in the time warp while going through the region; this theory was able to garner strength.

Another popular theory is that of alien abductions. According to it, the Bermuda Triangle is a collecting station where aliens take our people, ships, planes and other objects back to their planet to study.

Sea monsters are another popular theory, which has been quite popular. In fact, presence of sea monsters have been perhaps the most widely believed explanations for the strange disappearances, especially the earlier times, when the existence of sea monsters were widely believed to be true.

Another explanation for this, has been said to be death Rays from Atlantis. Those who believe in this explanation, state the presence of magic crystals, left from the time of Atlantis, deep down in the sea. It is said that rays from these crystals are responsible for the strange sinking of the ships. However, several underwater expeditions have revealed places under the ocean that look man-made, but no such crystals were found. In fact no real proof that Atlantis existed, was even found.

Apart from the above supernatural explanations, several natural explanations are also there. These include bad weather, sea piracy, giant whirlpools, presence of live bombs in the past, along with magnetic fields and methane gas formation. As it is, among all these theories, the theory in regard to methane gas formation appears to be quite believable. As it is, formation of methane can lower the density of water, leading to the sinking of ships. Similarly, Methane can cut out an aircraft engine with very little levels of it in the atmosphere, leading to aircraft crashes.

This mysterious place accounts fro more than 1500 disappearances, which include ships, boats, as well as aircrafts. The term “Bermuda Triangle” was first coined by a famous magazine in 1964. The mystery behind these disappearances has continued. As it is, several explanations have come up since the discovery of the dangers posed by these waters. These explanations range from supernormal phenomenon like giant squids, sea monsters, time warp, death rays from Atlantis, as well as alien abduction.

However, with the passage of time, fewer and fewer people now believe it to be a handiwork of any sea monster. Alien abduction however continues to be a widely believed phenomenon, along with presence of a time warp. However, some people have also come up with some scientific explanations as well. The following are some of the possible explanations for this strange phenomenon:

One of the scientific explanations states that, in the 1940s, navigating a plane involved relying completely on a magnetic compass to guide them. So, pilots had to be guided by their compass as they estimated how the wind would influence their planned flight path, in order to remain on the right track.

Another explanation revolves around a highly unpredictable weather. Now, since the island is situated in the Atlantic Ocean, it has an extremely unpredictable weather. So, it gets a weather, which is influenced by several factors and can change with lightening speed. That means that one moment you have a brilliant weather, whereas the other moment, you may be faced with an extremely perilous weather.

Also, another factor, can that be of hurricanes, which are very common in the Bermuda Triangle area. In this region, they generally originate from the African coast and flourish with the moisture of the warm, tropical waters, leading to creation of several destructive hurricanes. Along with it, you also have an additional peril in the form of thunderstorms. Several ship wrecks were caused due to the thunderstorms in the region.

Apart from these, another factor, which holds much strength, is the formation of methane in the sea. As it is, formation of methane can lower the density of water, leading to the sinking of ships. Similarly, Methane can cut out an aircraft engine with very little levels of it in the atmosphere, leading to aircraft crashes.

INDO-U.S NUCLEAR DEAL

The Indo-U.S. civilian nuclear agreement, known also as the Indo-U.S. nuclear deal, refers to a bilateral accord on civil nuclear cooperation between the United States of America and the Republic of India. The framework for this agreement was a July 18, 2005 joint statement by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and then U.S. President George W. Bush, under which India agreed to separate its civil and military nuclear facilities and place all its civil nuclear facilities under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards and, in exchange, the United States agreed to work toward full civil nuclear cooperation with India.

Following are the key aspects of the Indo-US civil nuclear deal:

* The agreement not to hinder or interfere with India's nuclear programme for military purposes.

* US will help India negotiate with the IAEA for an India-specific fuel supply agreement.

* Washington will support New Delhi develop strategic reserves of nuclear fuel to guard against future disruption of supply.

* In case of disruption, US and India will jointly convene a group of friendly supplier countries to include nations like Russia, France and the UK to pursue such measures to restore fuel supply.

* Both the countries agree to facilitate nuclear trade between themselves in the interest of respective industries and consumers.

* India and the US agree to transfer nuclear material, non-nuclear material, equipment and components.

* Any special fissionable material transferred under the agreement shall be low enriched uranium.

* Low enriched uranium can be transfered for use as fuel in reactor experiments and in reactors for conversion or fabrication.

* The ambit of the deal include research, development, design, construction, operation, maintenance and use of nuclear reactors, reactor experiments and decommissioning.

* The US will have the right to seek return of nuclear fuel and technology but it will compensate for the costs incurred as a consequence of such removal.

* India can develop strategic reserve of nuclear fuel to guard against any disruption of supply over the lifetime of its reactors.

* Agreement provides for consultations on the circumstances, including changed security environment, before termination of the nuclear cooperation.

* Provision for one-year notice period before termination of the agreement.

* The US to engage Nuclear Suppliers Group to help India obtain full access to the international fuel market, including reliable, uninteruppted and continual access to fuel supplies from firms in several nations.

* The US will have the right to seek return of nuclear fuel and technology.

* In case of return, Washington will compensate New Delhi promptly for the "fair market value thereof" and the costs incurred as a consequence of such removal.

* Both the countries to set up a Joint Committee for implementation of the civil nuclear agreement and development of further cooperation in this field.

* The agreement grants prior consent to reprocess spent fuel.

* Sensitive nuclear technology, nuclear facilities and major critical components can be transferred after amendment to the agreement.

* India will establish a new national facility dedicated to reprocessing safeguarded nuclear material under IAEA safeguards.

* Nuclear material and equipment transferred to India by the US...

HYDE ACT

The Henry J. Hyde United States-India Peaceful Atomic Energy Cooperation Act of 2006, also known as the Hyde Act, is the U.S. domestic law that modifies the requirements of Section 123 of the U.S. Atomic Energy Act to permit nuclear cooperation with India[16] and in particular to negotiate a 123 Agreement to operationalize the 2005 Joint Statement. As a domestic U.S. law, the Hyde Act is binding on the United States. The Hyde Act cannot be binding on India's sovereign decisions although it can be construed as prescriptive for future U.S. reactions. As per the Vienna convention, an international treaty such as the 123 agreement cannot be superseded by an internal law such as the Hyde Act




Now Arises the question
As a citizen of India Whtz ur opinion
is this Nuclear Deal is for the Sake of our Nation or not?

A Brief history of our Land

Hi,
First of all i want to publish just some basic facts of our nation. I already know that most of as are aware of all these matters.

When talking of a nation, it becomes very imperative that the past should also be talked about. And the past of India is as fascinating and interesting as it is momentous.

Our Country name "INDIA" is derived from the River Indus. The Aryan worshipers reffer the Indus as Sindhu.

The official Sanskrit name for India is Bharat.

Sanskrit is considered as the mother of all higher languages. This is because it is the most precise, and therefore suitable language for computer software. ( a report in Forbes magazine, July 1987 ).

Chess was invented in India.

Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus are studies which originated in India.

India has the most post offices in the world !

The World's first university was established in Takshila in 700 BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects.

Bhaskaracharya rightly calculated the time taken by the earth to orbit the sun hundreds of years before the astronomer Start. His calculations was - Time taken by earth to orbit the sun: ( 5th century ) 365.258756484 days.

Proud to be Indian !

Jai Hind !
