What's the chance of the Adena Indians being related to the Stonehenge builders?
Both societies built enormous earthworks. Ditches. Mounds. Roads. One society added enormous stones, the other didn't. The trouble is: one lived long ago in Great Britain. The other about two thousand years ago....in the United States. One (probably stupid) idea is that the British floated across the ocean and set up in the US. But they lost the big stone structures in the process. I look at the British works. I look at the US works. They look very much the same!

Those parallels will exist between most ancient cultures. It doesn't mean they had contact or are related to each other. In the settlement of the New World, many people believed similar things. It's called the myth of the mound builder. The mounds were not attributed to the natives, and this myth was used as justification for removal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mound_builder_%28people%29#Alternative_explanations Henges are not uncommon in North America, but they are usually made of wood and not stone. The woodhenge at Cahokia is a good example.

Not very likely to be a connection. For one thing, British monuments are 2-3000 years older than the US ones. By the time the US ones were made, they had stopped building them in Britain by 1000 years,and they were almost as mysterious to the population of the time as they are to us today. Also,if the US monuments were built by ancient Brits from abroad you'd expect to find caucasian skeletons.Now some native tribes do carry a mtdna X2 which is considered European...but it's not very common in western Europe.

There is no such thing. This letter is a scam. If you respond, you'll be asked for a small fee, to expedite the process. Then there'll be another, larger fee. Eventually, you'll have given them so much money that you will feel like you can't back out, because you have so much invested. Suggestion: send them to http://www.419eater.com/

Should there be a railroad train tunnel from Australia to Seattle for folks who have a fear of flying
Should there be a railroad train tunnel from Australia to Seattle for folks who have a fear of flying?
With bullet trains becoming more popular all the time, and these "mag-lev" trains of the future still being developed, don't you people think that someday there will be a gigantic tunnel for high speed trains that runs through the Pacific Ocean? They already have one between Great Britain and France, right? In my vision, this amazing railroad of the future would run (at about 423 miles per hour) between Sydney, Australia and Seattle, Washington, with a lovely 1-day stopover in Hawaii. Free hula dance shows, the works.

You do realize how hard that would be to stretch a single underwater train tunnel all the way across the Pacific Ocean don't you?
3 :
Flying bites, so a nice train ride would be great. But the speed could be much greater, even faster than a plane... A plane is limited by it's speed through the atmosphere, a large plane with a meaningful passenger carrying capacity is limited by aerodynamic drag. There's the "space hop" option, where the plane would skip along the top of the atmosphere, avoiding drag and able to fly much faster, but still not as comfortable as a train. Think 5,000 mph! Create a vacuum inside the train tunnel, no aerodynamic drag, and maglev propulsion. Fantastically expensive, but in some future with near unlimited energy and will, it is theoretically possible. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vactrain

It's a nice flight of fancy, but not realistic. The Discovery channel did a extreme engineering show on the possibility of a transatlantic tunnel - a much shorter trip. The show estimated that it would take a Billion tons of steel and 12 Trillion dollars. Your Aussie tunnel would cost say, 50 Trillion; or the Gross National product of the entire world 2 times over. I do not think it will happen. Much more likely, there would be a tunnel connecting Australia and Indonesia; then a land route all the way to the Bering strait. Keep dreaming...
5 :
In fact, such a tunnel is well under way. It will link up with the Sydney-Tokyo super-tunnel and the Perth-London AquaTrain. Once the New York-London AtlanTrak is complete in 2011, you will be able to circle the globe by train. Seattle was chosen because of the close cultural affinity between Washington State and New South Wales.
