Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Journals are weird. I think that the problem with journals for me is that they are for writing down your thoughts... By the time I'm home and able to get on the internet, all of the thoughts I want to write down are gone! -_-;
This is my first journal, though.
On a side note, I was thinking about science the other day. Actually the other night. The trains that use magnets to run? What if they could freeze the tracks? In space, there's no friction, because a) there's no air, and b) everything is really cold! So what if they freeze the tracks? Would it go faster? Or maybe the metal would stick to the track. So they should heat it up instead. Except if they heat it too much, then the metal will melt. Also, friction creates heat, so does heat create friction?
So then they should make it so that the metals don't touch at all! Hovering trains!! How cool would that be??! Again with the magnets. if they put two magnets with the same pole facing each other, then the magnet would float. But magnets always flip so that they stick. So they need interlocking magnets that only touch in a certain spot, but can mostly float. But then if the train were too heavy, then it would touch where it's not supposed to....
By the way, this is all made up by me, with no knowledge of how the electromagnetic trains work. I will have ask around and find out.
