but is it possible.

so what

it's not possible for actual use

so what currently stops it from being used.

REALITY

You just said it's possible.

Just not sustain it.

So explain -

I said its possible to send an object down a vaccum tube at high velocity

Yes.

Now how do you sustain it - what are the barriers to sustaining it.

well for example

if you were to take

don't banks use vacuum tubes?

a large vaccum tube and stretch it across the entire state of california

spanning desert and farmland and everything in between

all these biomes are gonna be very different

so heat expansion alone

would be a nightmare

just the differences that would come up

across the course of the tube

Heat expansion on a vacuum with an outer shell?

I think I might be considered a Puritan.

yes

then tectonic motions

would also be an issue

because we're in fucking california

If it's underground, tectonic motions are a non-issue

@Tornzy it’s a meme

The place to be during a flood is in a submarine.

The same is true for underground.

then there's of course the sheer amount of energy you'd need to run the system at all

So you are saying there is no material that can withstand tearing - it's not fucking glass.

Also it's underground

Gotta pump those Authority numbers up, Dvir. Those are rookie numbers.

THATS EVEN WORSE

HOLY SHIT

?

Don't believe what pokemon taught you.

Are you saying earthquakes are more effective to ground types.

Being underground is quite safe from earthquakes.
