Hey guys, I came across an EK physics passage that dealt with digging a tunnel through the earth to travel between cities, cutting down travel time. It was actually pretty neat (EK's good about that), and when I googled the idea, found an interesting site that talked about the idea (which would actually be conceivably doable on the moon) and gave some other physics "thought experiment" type situations. I think they're interesting to think about and also they seem like the kind of thing MCAT might like to throw out. So if anyone's interested:

Now... why can't my real life physics class be less "plug & chug" and more interesting, like this? :sleep:

Did not know it was just a problem and not a hypothetical question

Oh im sorry, this was all made up for the sake for problem solving... my bad--- good site... I still didnt read it but i read the title

Sounds promising! Thanks for providing the link -- I'm looking forward to checking it out. Thanks again!

My class was actually pretty cool :D E.g. when we talked about electricity and magnetism, my professor constantly likened the problems to real life situations and technology, e.g. MRI.
