'Hypersonic Travel' from Abu Dhabi to Dubai in 15 minutes?

"Thirty years from now, we will need seven cubic miles to sustain our environment." Hyperloop, bitcoins and nanotechnology discussed at Dubai's World Government Summit.

Imagine this: Travel from Abu Dhabi to Dubai in a tube at hypersonic speed. Travel time is just 15 minutes and fare is paid not by cash or card but with digital currency from your smartphone. The environment has become pollution-free because of nanotechnology that harnesses energy more efficiently This scenario was painted at the World Government Summit on Tuesday by speakers who discussed the hyperloop transport system, bitcoins and nanotechnology as the future of renewable energy. Brogan Bambrogan, co-founder and chief technology officer of Hyperloop Technologies, said: "Hyperlop is not science fiction, it is real and it's happening. We are doing hardcore engineering to bring this technology from the drawing board to real hardware, into reality." Bambrogan described the hyperloop as the future of transport, travelling at near the speed of sound. This futuristic mode of transport was first conceptualised by Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk who called it the "fifth mode of transport."
