Westerners have always had an inexplicable fear of the full moon, and literature likes to release the images of "werewolves" and "vampires" on the day of the full moon. Some scientists at Texas State University in the United States believe that among the many factors that led to the sinking of the "Titanic" was the "full moon phenomenon". Three months before the "Titanic" accident, that is, on January 4, 1912, the distance between the Moon and the Earth was the shortest since 1400; Moreover, the shortest time point in time between the Moon and the Earth is within six minutes of the formation of the Full Moon; In addition, just one day ago, the distance between the Earth and the Sun was the closest that year.
It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these three astronomical phenomena to occur at the same time. Donald Olson, a physicist at Texas State University, pointed out that the force of the huge tides caused by this extremely anomalous celestial phenomenon was enough to slap a large number of Arctic icebergs into the ocean, causing them to drift to the shipping route of the "Titanic" in April. Olsen said that Edward Smith, the captain of the "Titanic", must not have expected that there would be so many icebergs of such size on the waterway.
At that time, people did not know much about the effect of the full moon on the tides, let alone how much the astronomical phenomena of three months ago had to do with them.

It is said that after the mystery of the ghost fire, the mystery of the mummy is more appropriate, on the ship of the Titanic, there is a very ancient mummy, this mummy is already very mysterious when it is not placed on the ship, as long as the human beings who are related to this mummy are either born of a serious illness or died, scientists have not been able to explain this problem clearly, and soon, a mysterious person spent a very high price to buy it, ready to be transported by the Titanic, due to the sinking of the Titanic, The mummy also disappeared mysteriously, and no matter how people salvaged it, they failed to find the existence of the mummy, which is still an unsolved mystery.

British historian Tim Malting said that the fatal collision between the "Titanic" and the iceberg was due to the weather conditions at that time that created the phenomenon of "stealth" of the iceberg, and it was too late to turn the ship's bow when the crew found the huge iceberg. Martin had pored over weather maps from 100 years ago, and he had read the logbooks of other ships sailing the North Atlantic at the time of the sinking of the Titanic. He found that at the time and place when the "Titanic" passed, the frozen waters of the Arctic carried by the cold current of Labrador and the warmer air currents brought by the Gulf Stream met, causing abnormal refraction of light on the sea surface.
This refraction made the iceberg on the horizon completely invisible, becoming the ultimate killer of the "Titanic". Under normal weather conditions, the ship's lookout should have been able to see the iceberg long ago, Martin said. After years of studying the "Titanic" shipwreck, Martin said that the logbooks of several German and British ships recorded a large drop in the temperature in the sea near the wreck, which can prove that the weather conditions at that time can create illusions and make icebergs "disappear".

The wreck area is where the cold Labrador Snap and the Mexican Warm Current meet, causing temperatures to plummet (most of the victims froze to death). Survivors have mentioned that the starry light was actually caused by the refraction of light in the cold and warm current and caused a mirage. For the same reason, the radio was seriously interfered with, which seriously affected the issuance and response of the ice floe warning and distress signals, and countless coincidences led to the sinking of the giant ship.
-
In the sea area where the Titanic traveled, there were many icebergs from Greenland. This year, due to the warmer temperatures, the number of icebergs was much higher than in previous years. But the Titanic still sailed towards the sea full of ice floe.
The most common reason for the Titanic shipwreck is said to be that the ship is too fast. But judging from the evidence, one captain of the ship swore that it was safe to drive at full speed in the ice floe area on a clear day. And the Titanic still has two boilers that are not ignited, and it is not running at full speed.

In fact, according to the incomplete Maritime Safety Law of the year, the number of shipboard lifeboats was not determined by the number of people but by the tonnage of the hull. Although the lifeboats carried by the Titanic are far from enough to rescue everyone, the number of lifeboats has long exceeded the number stipulated by the safety law. The shipping company was very aggrieved afterwards, believing that it had brought more lifeboats than required by law, which was a sign of responsibility to passengers, but no one noticed.
Of course, after the Titanic shipwreck, all the laws became a dead letter. It has become a consensus that equipped with a lifeboat should be able to carry everyone.
-
It is confirmed that the Titanic was killed by a powerful laser beam after the bilge entered the water, and it should have left irregularly shaped holes in or around the bulbous nose of the hull, or irregular cracks in the hull steel plates, but this is not the case.
-
Due to the captain's experience judgment, insufficient water tank, failure to find the iceberg in time, the Titanic's prestige illusion, the wrong judgment of the first mate, and the high speed of the ship, the Titanic hit the iceberg and sank.
-
As far as I know, there are many reasons, but the biggest mystery is whether the technology is really passable, and why everyone can trust the ship so blindly.
-
Wouldn't it have sunk all of its ships at once even if they hit an iceberg, and there were no rescue facilities on board at the time?
-
There's no specific answer to this, but it's still not technical.

On April 15, 1912, the Titanic, a luxury ship carrying 1,316 passengers and 861 crew members, collided with an iceberg and sank. The shipwreck is considered one of the top 10 human disasters of the 20th century. In 1985, the wreckage of the Titanic was discovered two and a half miles from the bottom of the North Atlantic.
The American explorer Lowe himself dived to the bottom of the sea and found a painting in the safe in the cabin. The painting caught the attention of a 102-year-old woman. The old woman's name was Ruth, and she claimed to be the girl in the painting.
In the room, Ruth began to tell the story of her time.
On April 10, 1912, the Titanic sailed from Southampton, England to New York, USA. Ruth, an aristocratic girl, boarded the Titanic with her mother and fiancé Carl. On the other side, Jack, a young painter, wins a ticket by gambling at a dock bar.
Ruth was tired of the boring aristocratic life, and from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to marry Carl, a snob.
One night, Ruth was about to commit suicide by jumping into the sea at the stern of the boat, but Jack hugged her and saved Ruth. This is how the two young men met.
That night, Carl was trying to make Ruth happy. He gave Ruth the necklace he was going to give to Ruth in a week. The next day, Ruth and Jack are chatting on deck, and Ruth thanks Jack.
In the evening, Carl invites Jack to dinner in the first-class restaurant in order to thank Jack for saving his fiancée. After the meal, Jack took Ruth to play in the third class.
The next day, Ruth's mother and Carl found out about the previous night's incident and blamed Ruth. Ruth was forced to break up with Jack due to family reasons. At sunset, Ruth came to the bow of the boat, and the beautiful and lively Ruth fell in love with the handsome and cheerful Jack.
In the bedroom, Ruth carries the necklace Carl gave her and asks Jack to paint her portrait as a testimony to their love. The unfortunate thing finally happened, the Titanic hit the iceberg at high speed, and Jack and Ruth planned to go back and tell everyone who didn't know about it. Unexpectedly, Jack was framed by Carl and imprisoned on the ship.
As Ruth was about to board the lifeboat, Ruth fled. She went to save Jack. She still believes that Jack is innocent.
She helps Jack escape from prison with a life-saving axe. They make their way to the deck, and both Carl and Jack try to convince Ruth to get into the lifeboat. On the lifeboat, Ruth gave up the opportunity and ran to the deck, hugging Jack tightly.
The Titanic finally sank soon after, and on the icy sea, Jack gave Ruth a plank and let Ruth lie on it, but the plank could only carry the weight of a person. Jack gave Ruth a chance to survive, and he froze to death in the sea of ice.
After the old Ruth finished telling this sad love story. At night, she came to the place where the Titanic sank 84 years ago, and threw the necklace that she had treasured for 84 years into the sea, so that it could accompany Jack and this love to sleep at the bottom of the sea.
The Titanic, which is known as unsinkable, was tragically shipwrecked on its first voyage, resulting in the death of 1,500 people.

Salvaging a wreck costs a lot of money, and no one wants to pay for it, so it's definitely hard to salvage it.
