Historical Ybor City has seen many changes
The first time I ever saw a glimpse of Ybor City was from the window of an orange school bus taking me to Booker T. Washington middle school in 1984. It was a ghetto back then. There was an old forgotten cigar museum, a few struggling businesses, The Columbian Restaurant, and a lot of empty rotting space. There were no hotels or condos. Not too far away from my school or Ybor City were buildings that they called "the projects". In 1984, it did not look like the Ybor City that visitors see today.

THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE, ATLANTIC OCEAN
The North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North America is known as the "Bermuda Triangle," and it is believed that 20 aircraft and more than 50 ships have mysteriously vanished. The territory, whose boundaries are up for controversy, is formed like a triangle and extends roughly from Florida's Atlantic coast to Bermuda and the islands collectively known as the Greater Antilles. The Bermuda Triangle is estimated to be between 500,000 and 1,510,000 square miles (1,300,000 to 3,900,000 square kilometers) in size. Strange phenomena have been reported in the area since the mid-nineteenth century. While some ships never transmitted a distress signal and were never seen or heard from again, others were discovered to have been completely abandoned.

Who made these circles in the Sahara?
Sahara, (from Arabic ṣaḥrāʾ, “desert”) largest desert in the world. Filling nearly all of northern Africa, it measures approximately 3,000 miles (4,800 km) from east to west and between 800 and 1,200 miles from north to south and has a total area of some 3,320,000 square miles (8,600,000 square km); the actual area varies as the desert expands and contracts over time. The Sahara is bordered in the west by the Atlantic Ocean, in the north by the Atlas Mountains and Mediterranean Sea, in the east by the Red Sea, and in the south by the Sahel—a semiarid region that forms a transitional zone between the Sahara to the north and the belt of humid savannas to the south.

In July 1935, renowned physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen, while collaborating at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, published a groundbreaking idea. They concluded that the theory of relativity actually allows for shortcuts across the space-time continuum, known as Einstein-Rosen Bridges or more commonly, wormholes. These wormholes, they theorized, could connect distant locations, making interstellar travel a possibility.
