Good point. A little hyperloop is nothing compared with CERN.

Cern beam tube is 6.3cm in diameter. And, you know, it didn't have trains zooming in it at 600m/s.

Also it's not even that long, it's only about 27 km, which pales in comparison to the globe-crossing aspirations of the hyperloopers.

It's puzzling how you could get this so backwards. Just how big do you think CERN is? Or are you comparing to to the 'Hyperloop test tracks which are mere hundreds of meters long and have enough problems already?
