(Haber, discussion of the Hyperloop system – high-speed passenger transportation in vacuum pipes, after a series of critical comments)
pa100r: I read the comments, I saw that many refer to the so-called railway.
It is strange that these ridiculous fiction continues to circulate, although any thinking person should understand that the idea is false.
1st Well about the fact that the iron wheels will slide off the rails I think it is not even worth mentioning, it is understandable to any child.
2nd The price. Can you imagine the cost of building a railway? Not counting even the cost of land, the land works themselves, the production of rails, the delivery of them to the place of laying. This is astronomical money, no one will invest it in this adventure.
Three What will be used to deliver steel ore in such quantities (rails, wagons) to factories? On the horses? It is funny.
4 is Imagine how the iron car will be heated by the sun in the summer and frozen in the winter? Would your kids be lucky in such a box? That is.
5 is And if the train slips off the rails and goes under a crash, hundreds of people will die on the spot. There is no better gift for terrorists. Any government will immediately ban this type of transport.
6 is Who will invest in the development of railways if there are normal, working horse transportation?
In general shit and stupidity. It’s funny just about airplanes, as if someone is flying in the air in a iron box. I do not even want to discuss it.
