New train goes 220mph with no centralized engine

I hear ya RCS, its hard to know what to believe these days but the majority of the stuff in the Zeitgeist movies I'd have to say is pretty spot on. Us humans can do anything, we have the potential to explore the universe if you wanted to only thing keeping us from doing it is ourselves. Money, greed, corruption, etc, etc, etc.

I used to be a die-hard Obama fan too but if I really search my feelings and am honest with myself he's just another politician too. He's selling hope and change but the truth is, he's a cheer leader for the real leaders of the world the corporations.

I'm tired of filtering through all the garbage, corruption and politics. The only thing I'm sure I can change in this world is myself and my actions. So with that I march on living my life with compassion and speaking only the truth. Unlike Obama's promises of sweeping change I can guarantee through my own actions true change. I'm not special though every one of us has this power.

I watched the "Zeitgeist" movie. It is one claim and assertion after another with no genuine documentation to back any of it up. There is, also, some wacked-out leftist politics mixed in with it. Some of the claims made in this film might be true; some might not be. I have no way of knowing from watching the movie.

I'm not even sure they leak it out, mind' Seems more like they explicitly withhold it from us for ever more oppressive control

there is a newer Addendum video to Zeitgeist I was surprised to find following that link www.zeitgeistmovie.com

thank you mindcontrol

Really cool but we have the technology to build trains that travel way faster then that. The problem is the powers that be leak the technology out so they can milk it for the money.

If you haven't seen the Zeitgeist movie I definitely say check it out.

Sounds like the future of mass transit to me.

pretty cool. too bad it's in france...

This is similar to German's speed train.

they get to work faster, get work done faster, and have much more vacation time.....paid vacation time...
i'm moving to france.

And people think Americans have to do everything fast, fast, fast...

now thats fast,but with all the terroists they have over their,if they planted a bomb on it,the fatalities would be very high.Thats sad but thats the way it is I'm sorry to say.

The French it is not sleeping on the tracks! Got to respect that Country. Did not got fooled by this war, developed an air engine car...what else?

Read this article USA, this is what we need to cut down on car emissions. What a great ride from city to city. More people would use this type of train than our antiquated AMTRAK. Bring this across the Atlantic, please!

Awesome! This shows that technology can be exciting and inspiring. As I have posted on Current before, this country should have a good, stiff gasoline tax hike, and some of the money should go into building new public transportation systems and new railways. We should have trains just like this one in our major urban corridors between cities here.

I'd love a super fast bullet train too! a typical 20-30 mile commute would take less than 10 minutes! It would totally revolutionize life where I live. It's so sad that corporations and our fascist government limit and curb and undermine American grit and ingenuity to honestly compete with other even more modern nations. We have good ideas and they tell us why we shouldn't. =( We should drown all our leaders and do what we want, as we imagine it =P Like with health-care...we could put all these elitist doctors and insurers on salary and if they don't like it, they can start their own practice but they won't have the health market in a strangle-hold anymore. And if enough of them balked, well, we could put put them on the job temporarily anyway like they did with the airline pilots... It's almost like, as Americans, seeing and knowing our shoes are untied, were somehow incompetent or powerless to do anything about it when even a simple solution would get a lot done. *shrug* and we might all look better too doing it =P hehehe

We need a resurgence of revolution like what happened in the Industrial Age, and we need to stop listening to the talking heads telling us not to, or why we can't.

I hope the $1 Trillion Obama is putting into the infrastructure brings some of these trains here.

It would be badass if we had a better train system here in the U.S.; I'd definitely be traveling on a seasonal basis.

HOLY FREEDOM FRIES BATMAN - That's FAST!

This story makes me long for this kind of development here in the US. We compete with Europe and Japan (sort of) on cars.. why not trains?

I understand that the US is a special case because our country spans a continent, but we really should be pushing advances on trains as well.
