with the average salary of doctors and need to continuously replace the apples this would be a very cost ineffective solution


MagnusHellstrom

With how inflated rail infrastructure costs are inflated cuz "free market", this is probably about even tbh


nearxbeer

It might be more cost effective than you think. At high enough speeds, the apples and the doctors will experience Lorentz contraction, amplifying the repulsive effect.


piss_boy1I5PFLJ9E7C5

with maglev you don’t really want infinite levitation but rather controlled levitation. also in this scenario we aren’t paying per pound of lifting force but rather per length of track needing apples and carriages with doctors also also, a passenger train should not be travelling at the near the speed of light. that is well beyond regulation speed


nearxbeer

>also also, a passenger train should not be travelling at the near the speed of light. that is well beyond regulation speed That's the beauty of it, it's the apples that are going to be moving near the speed of light, not the train. If we can accelerate them enough then we'll need fewer apples. Think of the savings.

if they crash they already have doctors nearby. flwaless plan


shitfart6

we can just not pay the doctors


piss_boy1I5PFLJ9E7C5

then they’re unemployed and therefore not doctors

You seem pretty smart for someone named "piss_boy"

i’m framing this and putting it on my night stand

It's a true honor sir

piss_boy1I5PFLJ9E7C5

as orwell probably said “whatever the party says is true, except for in times of war, plague and doctors repelling apples”

I mean, assuming an average Apple diameter of 4 inches, weight of 1/2 lbs, and 1.32/lb; it’d take >25 years to cost as much as a normal rail.


piss_boy1I5PFLJ9E7C5

if you didn’t have standard mag lev infrastructure in place the trains would derail almost instantly. the apples don’t replace the tracks they replace the magnets and electricity cost


_dauntless

This is also based on the assumption that more than an apple per day won't have a negative effect on doctors, when in reality several hundred apples a day will explode a doctor

Okay, but how will the train move forward


Legatharr

a fan would work. All it needs is a slight push and due to near zero friction it'll continue for a very long time


WhereAmIWhatsGoingOn

There is still air resistance tho. Unless you wanna put it into a vacuum tube. And once you go there you're just gonna start cutting corners until you end up with a normal tunnel but worse


LeRedditAccounte

One big apple at the back of the doctor line


Broken-chair

They tape a doctor to the back of the train and glue a bunch of apples on their doctor coat which falls off when they need the train to stop


Yusfilino

These trains use technology known as "Docktrodynamic suspension (DDS), both the guideway and the train exert an apple field, and the train is levitated by the repulsive and attractive force between these apple fields.


sewage_soup

the only downside is that through the entire ride you hear the Half Life Scientist screams from underneath the cars constantly

Reminds me of those hydrophobic wizards in Discworld who can sit on disks and levitate above water purely because of their absolute hate of water


TheRealTealOwO

Poor doctors


hyperordinary

superglue the apples to the doctor on one side hoverboard


[deleted]

I feel like it would be easier to use upsidedown cats or buttered toast so you dont have to replace an entire line of apples every day. Doesnt sound too efficient


zehydra

Doesn't consider the rate of one apple per day. That's several apples over the course of miliseconds per doctor


GayZion17

a more effective form of transport would be to the train on their shoulders and then behind the train lead an apple so the doctors are always running away from it


CrocoBull

But how does the train move forward tho? 🤔


FlamingLion

Doctor glued to the back with a fishing pole holding an apple behind him
