For example, building a tunnel at or under sea level is difficult, so you can lift it a few thousand meters up. The air is thinner there, so you don't need the tube, thus saving a lot of money. All you need now is get a pressurised pod up there and move it at high speed. For efficiency, you can make the pod larger, for a few hundred passengers.

    I love the slow motion shots of a deep in thought Prof Stoddy carefully working on his..........font? I guess that makes him look smart somehow.

    I really want thunderfoot to look into Brian Johnson, an Anti Aging multimillionaire who supposedly spends 2 million dollars a year in anti aging medical expenditures. some of the things he does are obviously important, like working out daily and such, but I would love to see his take on his creation of "Blueprint"

      It's actually weird that guy isn't doing More weird shit to try and get results? He's spending so much money per year and it's pretty much a joke how much he wastes on insane amounts of supplements & just doing basic things like following a rigid routine. Most things can be done for free. If someone were willing to suffer & never allow themselves to live a little here and there while you "try and learn how to live longer" *Why wouldn't he experiment with actually effective compounds or something other than shilling out for supplement companies?

      @@benmcreynolds8581 agreed in some regards, I think a large portion of that number is probably PERSONAL doctors he pays and now a good portion is likely going towards his social media accounts growing and being sensationalized. he also now sells Olive Oil that is some special grading hes posted somewhere cant remember exactly. I definitely believe he wants to extend his life.. its basically human nature. but I fully agree with the shilling comment, hes rich, and knows he needs to keep making money out of this. I do wonder what actually WORKS best on his list of claims, and what works worst ofc as well.
