#12 While you're playing football, it's easy to lose track of time, so what you think might be 50 seconds, is really only actually 13 seconds. The 250 mile run up is entirely accurate. I could supply you with mathematical proof if you wish, but not here. Look it up if you like. It's to do with the uniform acceleration of a body of known weight. The fundamental formula is v=u+at where u = initial velocity, v = final velocity, a = acceleration, t = time and s = displacement. You then have to combine this with e=mc^2 where e is energy, m = mass, and c = speed of light. Extra factors such as track gradient, wind speed, rolling resistance of the stock, wind resistance and gyroscopic transition effects all serve to complicate the situation.

A train that long would require a 250 mile run up just to get up to speed, and then a 250 mile stretch to brake in time. And the energy required to accelerate the entire weight of all of the carriages would be greater than the energy equivalent to six atomic bombs! Plus, due to the (alleged) great length of the train, the first car would be arriving at the destination station, before the last car had even left the departing station, thus breaking Newton's Fourth Law of Thermodynamics!

So, as you'll agree. Fake!

#7 The youtube video is Fake. The video is clearly joined in 15 different places, giving the impression of a very long train. Watch for the pigeon again.
