do railway tracks go up or down hills or mountains or valleys?
or do the railway engineers make tunnels THROUGH mountains and hills and build bridges over valleys to remain on a flat (level) surface for the trains?


I have once taken a 30 minutes train between Aigle (415m height) and Leysin (1263m height). Does that answer your question?

TIL: Because railway engineers eliminate unsafe grade changes means that trains never change elevation, and always operate on a perfectly flat and level surface.

I proved the existence of gravity... here it is again...

the Jugular vein in our necks pump blood more effectively than other veins in order to push blood upwards into our brains, against the pull of gravity...
the fact that our veins achieve their purpose, INCLUDING gravitational pull in the process, proves that gravity is there and that our bodies needed to adapt this characteristic...

every person on the planet can do a quick experiment to show them this effect... its so easy to do... stand on your head upside down and feel the blood rush into your head.... the Jugular vein + gravity = more blood into our heads...

Actually, isn't it the carotid artery that carries blood TO the brain, and the jugular which carries it back to the heart FROM the brain?

Oh, I know. Just don't need to give these recards anything to poke holes in.
