Cardiff experts think that not only have they found a new source of energy to tap, but they think they might have answered the age old mystery of the Burmuda Triangle. The scientists discovered a very rich strata of methane producing bacteria in deep ocean substrates.
"Some of these bacteria produce methane that accumulates in "gas hydrates" — a super concentrated methane ice that contains more carbon than all conventional fossil fuels and, therefore, a potentially enormous energy source. However, we know little about gas hydrates as they melt during recovery due to the fall in pressure. "
What does this have to do with the Bermuda Triangle? Their theory now suggests that when the covering of "methane ice" which exists over much of the seabed of the Bermuda Triangle becomes unstable; this causes instability of the sea and an explosive mixture of air and methane above. Any ships or planes traveling over the area could sink or catch fire.
