A Scientist Says He's Solved the Bermuda Triangle, Just Like That
Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: An Australian scientist says probabilities are the leading cause of the Bermuda Triangle disappearances. And he's not the only one. Add in suspect weather, and iffy plane and boat piloting, and Karl Kruszelnicki believes there's no reason to believe in the Bermuda Triangle phenomenon. While the conspiracy of the Bermuda Triangle has existed for decades, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association and Lloyd's of London has long championed the same ideas. Pick any one of the more than 50 ships or 20 planes that have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in the last century. Each one has a story without an ending, leading to a litany of conspiracy theories about the disappearances in the area, marked roughly by Florida, Bermuda, and the Greater Antilles. Australian scientist Karl Kruszelnicki doesn't subscribe to the Bermuda Triangle's supernatural reputation. Neither does the United States' own National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA). Both have been saying for years that there's really no Bermuda Triangle mystery. In fact, the loss and disappearance of ships and planes is a mere fact of probabilities. 'There is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur with any greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the ocean,' NOAA wrote in 2010. And since 2017, Kruszelnicki has been saying the same thing. He told The Independent that the transparent volume of traffic—in a tricky area to navigate, no less—shows 'the number [of ships and planes] that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on a percentage basis.' He says that both Lloyd's of London and the U.S. Coast Guard support that idea. In fact, as The Independent notes, Lloyd's of London has had this same theory since the 1970s. NOAA says environmental considerations can explain away most of the Bermuda Triangle disappearances, highlighting the Gulf Stream's tendency towards violent changes in weather, the number of islands in the Caribbean Sea offering a complicated navigation adventure, and evidence that suggests the Bermuda Triangle may cause a magnetic compass to point to true north instead of magnetic north, causing for confusion in wayfinding. 'The U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard contend that there are no supernatural explanations for disasters at sea,' NOAA says. 'Their experience suggests that the combined forces of nature and human fallibility outdo even the most incredulous science fiction.' Kruszelnicki has routinely garnered public attention for espousing these very thoughts on the Bermuda Triangle, first in 2017 and then again in 2022 before resurfacing once more in 2023. Throughout it all, he's stuck to the same idea: the numbers don't lie. Even with some high-profile disappearances—such as Flight 19, a group of five U.S. Navy TBM Avenger torpedo bombers lost in 1945—pushing the theory into popular culture, Kruszelnicki points out that every instance contains a degree of poor weather or likely human error (or both, as in the case of Flight 19) as the true culprit. But culture clings to Bermuda Triangle conspiracy theories. The concepts of sea monsters, aliens, and even the entirety of Atlantis dropping to the ocean floor—those are fodder for books, television, and movies. It sure does sound more exciting than poor weather and mathematical probabilities, anyway, even if the 'boring' story holds more water.

27 Things From The Container Store To Help You Organize
A lidded rattan bin since your style of organization is "toss it in and worry about it later" — which, same. These give you alllllllllllll that flexibility and convenience *without* sacrificing the vibe of your space. Price: $109.99+ (available in two sizes) A set of modular flip-out bins allowing you to customize their arrangement, making them the ideal companion for your craft room or garage. From screws to thumbtacks, stickers to beads, there's no shortage of ways to use this nifty little contraption. Price: $16.99 A bamboo storage bench with four plastic-lined hidey-holes for shoes, gear, or curious snack wrappers your kids don't want anyone finding. It's like a murder‑mystery of clutter, but the reveal is fab, not foul. Promising review: "This is the perfect addition to our newly renovated Elfa closet. As super seniors, we need a place to sit while taking off/putting on shoes; and it holds all our shoe polish, brushes, extra laces, and shoe horns." —MarthaPrice: $149.99 A utility wire shoe storage for when your shoes are staging a coup and taking over your closet. Just hook it up, load it up, and revel in the satisfying feeling of your door doing more. Promising review: "I love these Elfa over-the-door organization systems. They're non-damaging to my doors and very easy to install. One recommendation is to measure the width of your doors before choosing the correct size!I I wanted to use it in my foyer closet, but it was nonstandard width. Used it in my bathroom instead." —KatePrice: $94.50+ (available in two materials) A steel-lidded container set to the rescue when your pantry hits its critical mass. Just snap down the pop‑top lid and your flour, sugar, coffee, and grains will suddenly behave. Stainless-steel accents keep them looking sharp, and the stackable design means even your top shelf looks like you've got your act together. Plus, reviewers say they do in fact keep food fresher for longer. The set includes a 4.4-quart, 2.7-quart, 1.7-quart, 1.1-quart, 0.6-quart and 0.4-quart review: "Not only do these look great, but they are perfectly designed to store my food and keep it fresher longer." —DCPrice: $112.99 A stacking double bin so you can be done scrambling around in closets like you're searching for treasure every morning before you leave. Clear sides and a flip-down front mean you don't have to shuffle a stack to find that one pair, and the sleek modular design screams 'I've got this.' Four boxes = four shoe dramas you can close and forget about. Promising review: "So simple, so clean. No more shoes/boxes scattered about whilst trying to find THAT pair of shoes. And suede stays dust free. Lovely." —TracyPrice: $54.99 (available in two sizes) An expandable drawer organizer because your junk drawer has become a Bermuda Triangle of dysfunction. Slide it out to fit your drawer's width, then arrange everything from charging cables to chunky socks with satisfying symmetry. No more spelunking in the abyss of your dresser drawers, just neat little zones awaiting your command. Promising review: "I am using this organizer in my deskside drawer. Love that it is expandable. All my little things are in order and easy to find." —BeverlyPrice: $17.99 An acrylic weekly calendar that makes staying on top of your schedule feel less like a meltdown and more like a moment. Write it, wipe it, repeat. It's pretty, practical, and the perfect excuse to buy more gold pens. Price: $49.99 A rotating adjustable organizer built to treat your countertops like an all-you-can-eat buffet for socks, snacks, stationery, what-have-you. Just give it a spin and everything you need comes right to you. Adjustable tiers mean no space goes wasted, and one smooth spin keeps your surfaces looking like you actually know what you're doing. Promising review: "I use this turntable for my daily maintenance medications and supplements. I put it inside a small kitchen cabinet. It fit inside the cabinet perfectly, and the meds are organized exactly as needed. I can see everything perfectly when I turn it too. Love this turntable!!! I would purchase again and again. I recommend it to everyone! It will not disappoint." —LeaPrice: $29.99 An acrylic handbag case here to make your favorite purse feel like museum-worthy art. Slide your designer bag in, close the lid, and suddenly it's both protected and pretty enough to show off. Who says organization can't be glamorous? Price: $79.99 A wicker TP holder ready to rescue your bathroom's 'why isn't anything refilled?' crisis. Tuck one roll in front, the backup behind, and avoid those 3 a.m. pleas of 'someone bring me the toilet paper!' It's the low-key hero your bathroom deserves. Price: $70 (available in three colors) A canvas storage bin basically made to bring some visual calm to your space with its spacious, sturdy, and neutral-toned design, blending in beautifully while holding everything from craft supplies to stray toys. Drop it on a shelf or tuck it in a closet and feel like a storage wiz. Price: $49.95+ (available in four sizes and two colors) An over-the-toilet etagere here to elevate your bathroom from 'Where did I put that?' to 'Here it is, looking fabulous.' No drilling required — just slip it over, stack your extra rolls, plants, or that fancy hand soap collection, and call it a spa moment. Price: $200+ (available in two colors) A collapsible laundry basket so you can corral your mountain of clothes without feeling like you're hauling boulders. Pop it open when it's laundry day, fold it flat when it's not, and keep your floor looking like more of a bedroom, less of a sock pile wasteland. Price: $19.99+ (available in two sizes) A hyacinth long bin here to tuck away your under‑table mess with serious style — slide it under your coffee table or bed, toss in blankets, toys, laundry, or mystery cords, and suddenly your floor looks like you woke up organized. Natural fiber gives serious texture and warmth while concealing the clutter you'd rather not see. Plus, it's comfy enough to double as an ottoman tray when guests arrive. Promising review: "I recently bought two Hyacinth Bins in Natural from The Container Store, and I couldn't be happier! Their warm, natural look adds a cozy touch to my space, and they fit perfectly with ample storage for blankets and linens. If you're seeking stylish storage that blends function with aesthetics, I highly recommend these!" —DarylPrice: $44.99 An automatic soap pump with a caddy — a soft wave of the hand gets you precisely the right amount of suds (no drips, no drama), and the caddy keeps everything looking polished. It's like your sink leveled up while you weren't looking. Promising review: "In this time of increased awareness of washing your hands to lessen the spread of infections, this will help facilitate that simple, but effective act. Plus, it looks good." —BeverlyPrice: $109.99+ (available in four colors) A white reach-in clothes closet guaranteed to transform your clothes catastrophe into a curated wardrobe showpiece with its shelves, drawers, and hanging rods that all play nicely together so you can see every piece of clothing you own. Suddenly grabbing an outfit feels less like archaeology and more like styling a magazine shoot. Promising review: "This solution is great — note that the website shows white, but I called and was able to order in platinum. For a small closet, we're now able to fit MUCH more than we previously did with only one hanging bar and one shelf. You can call to customize any way you want — different size drawers, etc. But the one inflexibility to this design is that the drawers and shelves must line up, so you cannot later change the height of the shelves, which works for us. I wasn't planning on reassembling anything later." —SFtoEastBayPrice: $805.50 (originally $1,074) A half-moon storage box you can use to tame your bathroom countertop. Just slide the lid open and stash cotton swabs, makeup brushes, or travel-size lotions in a stylish box that keeps what you need within reach and hidden. Clean lines, calming vibes, zero clutter guilt. Price: $70 A stackable wire basket designed so you can stack and stash in style thanks to its integrated handles and a flat-base design. They're more 'architectural statement' than junk collector. Pantry snacks, office clutter, or stash-worthy linens are no match. Reviewers love how 'durable' they are, with one saying they'd buy them 'again and again." Promising review: "I recently reorganized my linen closet and these were amazingly helpful to help store and organize everything! Love the fact that they stack up. My closet looks a million times better now!" —KristinPrice: $14.99 (available in five sizes and two colors) An expandable towel rack you can pull open or shrink down to fit your space, and voilà: every towel gets its moment to shine (and dry). Sleek, simple, and seriously satisfying. Promising review: "Why SHOULD the kitchen towel be all the way across the room hanging off the oven handle? This handy tool lets me hang the towel by the sink where it belongs! I liked this so much, I bought a second one for my bathroom that didn't have a space to mount a towel rack." —EllewizPrice: $13.99 A rolling fitness caddy so you can give your dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands a proper place of their own. Now, you can stop tripping over your gym gear and actually use it. Four tiers, sturdy wheels, and a compact profile mean your home workouts stay organized and ready at a moment's notice. Just roll it out, crush it, and roll it back — zero mess, all muscle. Price: $88 (available in two colors) A drawer solution with three roomy two-drawer shelves plus a fourth shallow one to keep your socks and undies (or random cables, etc.) right where you can see them, sliding smoothly and staying contained thanks to fine-weave mesh. Promising review: "First off, we loved these way more than we even could have imagined! These are such a great solution for small apartments, dorm rooms, or other small spaces that need something like a 'dresser,' but the traditional option would be too large. We use these often to act as a dresser and are deep enough for hoodies, crewnecks, etc., but also have shallow drawers, which are great for organizing underwear and socks. The wide option is the way to go if you're comparing others. :)" —Organized by JMPrice: $99.99 (originally $139.99; available in three colors) A long under-bed storage box ready to let you actually see what you own — no more mystery bag labeled 'misc,' just transparent lids and snap-tight seals showcasing everything from seasonal décor to memory-filled mementos. Stack 'em, label 'em, and embrace your inner storage minimalist. Promising review: "These boxes are great because they seal up tight and you can see what's inside. We mainly use them for storage in the garage. We have mostly used the same size, which provides a uniform look." —DianePrice: $3.99+ (available in nine sizes or in this size with wheels) A canvas laundry cart designed so you can haul your dirty clothes without looking like you're moving out. Sturdy canvas bag resting on wheels and a lightweight frame lets you glide it from bathroom to laundry room in style. You'll feel like a domestic CEO every wash day. Promising review: "This laundry cart is perfect for not only easily moving washing around in your laundry room, but also for ease of reach when you want to pull things out to wash…so much better than a basket on the floor! And they hold a lot! We were so happy to get it on sale that we turned right around after putting it in the car and went back in and bought a second one! Such a great decision, because my laundry room is now not only tidier, but more stylish than ever before!" —NPrice: $149.99+ (available in two colors and four sizes) An eight-pocket purse file with pockets here to rescue your handbag collection. Just slide it into your closet, slot your bags into eight clear compartments, and never play the 'which purse is this?' guessing game again. Dust free and accessible, it's the closet upgrade your accessories deserve. Promising review: "OMG, where has this product been my whole adult life?! I am happy, happy to finally organize my bags." —KerryPrice: $11.99 A wide hanging organizer here to double (or triple) your closet's capacity, instantly giving you more room for shirts, pants, or jackets. It's like magic shelving, but without the screws or landlord drama. Price: $29.99 (available in two colors) A few airtight canisters that transform your countertop into a café-worthy display instead of a chaos zone. Twist the lid and your coffee grounds, sugar, or tea stay fresh and stylishly contained. Now this is what I call "sleek design that actually makes you feel adult-ish before your first sip of caffeine." Promising review: "Hands-down the best for pantry organization. I thought I loved the Home Edit version, but this version has squared edges vs. rounded edges. The quality of the product is also top shelf. I think I have found my new favorite product!" —ShaniecePrice: $9.99+ (available in four sizes)
