They use continuous creation. That I canât get my head around.

Not significantly different from what we are dealing with under current conjectures, I think. You need to posit a continuous influx of dark energy to account for expansion as is. This posits that the influx takes a certain form.

Ah, I didnât know that. I assume itâs not coming from Wal-Mart.

Well, the energy density of empty space remains fairly constant. Whether Wal-Mart is a factor or not, I canât say. That may be a matter of increasing duncity energy causing space to flee in alarmâŚ

I donât know what youâre saying but I like the way you say it.

extremely interesting!
the West has been really diligent about empirical truth and puzzling physics out step-by-step.
but if this theory bears out, we will have to bow to the East for understanding the big picture all along:
Dr. Farnes says: âWe now think that both dark matter and dark energy can be unified into a fluid which possesses a type of 'negative gravity,â repelling all other material around them. Although this matter is peculiar to us, it suggests that our cosmos is symmetrical in both positive and negative qualities."

Dunno. A lot of physics is described in terms of symmetries and (also important!) symmetry breaking.

Apparently Senaptec and Nike are selling strobe glasses for eye training.
I have to wonder what quackery inspired this⌠and how many people will get hurtâŚ

Thatâs not half as harebrained as it started out. Physical safety controls, not a vacuum chamber, limited choice for exit⌠itâs as if a privileged billionaire who hates public transit set about creating public transit that required a thirty-thousand-dollar loan to access.

Yup, and none too competently. I mean, really! A rough ride? Did Boring Company not consult with any of the transit systems employing a Metro? Metros run on rubber tires, and they are generally smooth as silk. I can testify that Montrealâs has been smooth-running since it opened in 1967. That kind of concrete work is very mature technology.

I think, engineering-wise, itâs doable. I like the scaled-down size of the tunnel. As an experiment in a less granular subway system and working out those kinks it might be useful. The âautomated roadway of tomorrowâ aspect is a hundred years out of date and is just some marketing dross pooped out by Muskâs vanity.
The tunnel network operator would have to own the cars and be responsible for their maintenance, and Tesla cars arenât really the optimal size for a transportation network, so thereâs still a strong stench of magic bullshit in the venture. Weâll see how the tunnel repairs go.

âŚlet alone the sheer impracticality of using a lift to get street cars down from street level, get them lined up on the track properly, then guarantee that they are switched over to automatic so they can be merged into the main tunnel properly, so yes, the operator would need to own the cars. The problem with privately owned cars being used is that it is guaranteed that some owners will mod their vehicles, and that road leads to disaster.

I would assume theyâd eventually just have feeder onramps going down into the system that the magic self-driving cars (or customer-driven cars, or bus-length bus cars (limousines)) drive into. But then, I also wonder why elevators in tall buildings arenât trams instead, getting past the whole bottleneck limits of elevators in tall buildings, so what do I know.

Donât one lane tunnels have catastrophic failures when a car breaks down?

If youâve believed everything up until now, cars that are qualified to utilize these tunnels wonât breakdown.
Mr. Musk must be going for breakfast at Milliwayâs with the number of impossible things heâs pulling off.
