Musk Made a Surprise Visit to the Hyperloop Competition
- Elon Musk's presence was much awaited by the 22 teams that participated in the Hyperloop competition.
This weekend a competition that gathered 22
different teams with as many Hyperloop design propositions decided which
Hyperloop model would become the first step we take towards building
the fifth mode of transportation. But the highlight of the event was not
the fact that the MIT team won, but rather the one that none other than
Elon Musk made a surprise visit to the Hyperloop competition.
Because
Elon Musk is the person who first thought about the Hyperloop, it was
only logical that he would make an appearance at the SpaceX sponsored
Hyperloop Competition that took place in Texas this weekend.
When
the competition’s judges announced the winner and things were starting
to wrap up, the participants even initiated a new hashtag trend
#WhereisElon in order let the hosts know just how much the inventor,
engineer, innovator, businessman, Tesla Motors, and SpaceX co-founder
was awaited by fans.
And
as the lead engineer on the SpaceX team, Steve Davis, was delivering
the final speech he actually acknowledged the #WhereisElon hashtag and
used the newly formed trend to greet Musk on stage. The roaring
applauses from the standing audience were a definite sign of how much he
is appreciated in the young scientific community.
The Tesla Motors and SpaceX co-founder spent approximately 30 minutes on the competition’s stage. He delivered a speech for roughly ten and then started a Q and A session with the participants.

Among
the questions he answered was one related to how he got the idea of the
Hyperloop in the first place. It seems that the basic concept came to
his mind when he was one hour late to a conference because he was stuck
in traffic. While patiently waiting in his car he was thinking about a
new faster transportation method and he brought the idea up when he
finally made it to the conference.
Musk
also spoke about the competition, underlining the fact that all of the
designs that were submitted by the 22 teams were important, since the
final Hyperloop model will, most probably, be a hybrid. The billionaire
said that the ultimate judges will be economics and fundamental physics.
The
talks deviated from the Hyperloop afterwards and Musk was asked
questions about SpaceX, Tesla Motors and his participation in the Mars
mission. He gladly answered each one and, according to the participants,
inspired the young minds present to make a real change in the world.
Friends are Real Facebook
According to professor Dunbar, an average of 4.1 friends are the kind a person wants to keep.
United States Ever since 2004 social media has only
flourished. People have accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tinder
and many other platforms. And with these accounts come a large number
of friends and acquaintances in the so-called “friends list”. But are
Facebook friends real?
The
average social media user has a large number of friends in the
so-called “friends-list”, but are Facebook friends real? Will they
really act like friends when we will need them to? Are those virtual
friendships worthy of the name, or are they more of an “acquaintances
list”?
Robin
Dunbar, a British professor of psychology has conducted a study in
order to answer all of those questions. The name sounds familiar because
he is the scientist behind the “Dunbar number”. The number that bears
his name is actually a calculation model that theorized the maximum
number of stable relationships an individual could have.
According
to the “Dunbar number”, a single person could maintain a maximum number
of 150 relationships. All that surpasses the limit falls in the
“acquaintances” category.
The
famous British professor of psychology analyzed a sample of 3,375
Facebook users with ages between 18 and 65. The average number of actual
real-life friends that a single user had was 150. Out of these 150,
only 4.1 would prove to be dependable and 13.6 would express feelings of
sympathy if the user expressed having an emotional crisis.
Dunbar
declared that the study revealed the fact that the two kinds of
friendships did not differ in the virtual environment from the off-line
study that the professor of psychology completed a few years ago when he
devised the “Dunbar number”.
Furthermore,
the researcher discovered that a large amount of friends in a
“friend-list” did not make a significant difference, the number of real
friendships that the user had remained the same as the one of an average
user with fewer virtual friends.
The
professor of psychology explains that by adding more people, users do
not enlarge their friends circle, but rather that of acquaintances. And
there is no scientific evidence to point that fact that users with a
larger friends list are more sociable.
Dunbar
also adds that the fewer people a user has in the “friends list”, the
better. Because virtual friendships cannot be cultivated only in the
on-line environment. They need a significant amount of time invested by
the user, and time is scarce these days.
So are Facebook friends real? It seems that they aren’t.
