The Future Train- HYPERLOOP

Japan, inventor of the world's first bullet train, recently unveiled plans for an even faster and more radical train model: a floating train, powered by magnets, that will travel 100 mph faster than current bullet trains (about 300 mph). The maglev train, standing for "magnetic levitation," will run between Tokyo and Osaka, an estimated distance of 315 miles, cost $64 billion, and be completed by 2045.  
High-speed rail has already revolutionized national and international transportation in many parts of the world - for example, China has a maglev that already goes 270mph - and now high-speed is transitioning into hyper-speed. Last year, we reported that Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and co-founder of both PayPal and Tesla Motors, shared with the public his desire to patent a new mode of transportation - the “Hyperloop” that would get passengers from San Francisco to LA in only 30 minutes.
So what might the future hold for train travel? And, more importantly, how will it affect our cities and the people who live in them?

The "Hyperloop" would, according to Musk, "never crash, be immune to weather, go twice as fast as an airplane, four times as fast as a bullet train, and – to top it off – run completely on solar power." While this sounds like a too-good-to-be-true idea straight out of a science fiction novel, our friends at Business Insider believe that there's no reason the Hyperloop couldn't become reality with enough political and financial backing - but that’s quite the caveat.
In fact, magnetic levitation technology in trains has been tossed around in the scientific community - and even proposed as an alternative to air travel - for decades.
In 1972, physicist R.M. Salter detailed an underground tube system that could transport people from Los Angeles to New York City in a mind-boggling 21 minutes. The Very High Speed Transit System (VHST) would consist of "electromagnetically levitated and propelled cars in an evacuated tunnel" underground that would function as a sealed vacuum and zip back and forth across the country - at about 14,000 miles per hour.

Jose Mourinho may not last long as Manchester United manager but will bring trophies to Old Trafford, according to former Reds defender Phil Neville. United may have won Saturday’s FA Cup final against Crystal Palace but within minutes of lifting the trophy at Wembley there were reports that manager Louis van Gaal was about to be sacked and replaced by former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. For all that United won the FA Cup, they didn’t make a sustained challenge for the Premier League title and failed to qualify for the Champions League this season. United fans were also unhappy with the brand of football their team played under Dutch boss van Gaal, which many felt ran counter to the club’s traditional attacking style. Mourinho saw his second spell as Chelsea manager end with the sack in December after last season’s champions made a miserable start to the defence of their Premier League title.
