Flawed Designed World
FLAWED DESIGNED WORLD In 1989, the Shinkansen Bullet Train of Japan encountered a predicament. Despite its remarkable speed, clocking in at approximately 170 miles per hour, it produced a deafening noise upon exiting tunnels. This noise emanated from various sources, but the train's rapid entry into tunnels caused atmospheric pressure waves to surge through the opposite end. Consequently, the air exiting the tunnels created a sonic boom that could be heard up to 400 meters away.
