Sure, I think I agree with the AR/VR point. We won't really need such fast travel when this exists.
As for the physics problem, I didn't see you mentioning any unsolvable ones. As for the energy required and the resulting pollution, we have nuclear fusion (that's the premise). We r even mining resources from the moon for this.
This might be an economical problem with AR/VR competing. But a physics problem? Naah
Dayum, I like your wisdom SatansMagottyCumFart! Here's a song to immortalize your saying!

Ahh so what the metaverse was supposed to be? I think I do see this being more probable than the underground continent spanning Hyperloop network lol.
Maybe full body suits that produce output sensed by all 5 senses? Hmmm, that's a lot more probable I suppose (and I think would look a lot more dystopian too lol)
Lmao n what if u ram into a building by mistake while scrolling whatever brainrot social media platform we'll have by then? Don't u think we've had enough of such occurrences already?
Naah it's just a fun thought experiment lmao. Don't care about Mr. Douchebag.
As for the elevated rail thing- we would have to demolish A LOT of on ground infrastructure for that, no? Elevated makes sense for metros n stuff because of smaller turning radii. But for an absolutely straight tube? Ehhh.
Also, we need to factor in vertical turning radii as well, no? Elevation changes r quite drastic on the earth's surface. Building elevated means building crazy tall pillars and stuff (which also have to be earthquake resistant). Also, we would definitely need to build a lot of tunnels either ways (through hills, mountains, or simple plains whose elevation changes r too steep for our hypersonic vehicle)
I mean... Why build HSR if u just have normal rail? It might get u from place A to B faster by an hour or so... What difference would that make?
Turns out it would make quite a lot of difference, right? Faster human transportation in history has always been a good thing.
As for the price, the assumption is that nuclear fusion and lunar mining are mature tech. That would certainly lower the price a lot, no?
Hyperloops are an engineering problem, not a physical one. The same goes with nuclear fusion. Theoretically, nuclear fusion can be done on Earth. However, engineering such a system has taken more than half a century now (n we still don't have a nuclear fusion reactor yet).
Basically, the future's version of cars.
I can't see any more efficient ways of getting people from place A to B faster. Hypersonic speeds can't be achieved on the earth's surface due to its atmosphere. Therefore, I see only two ways to go about it:
I did compare this above. Like... Wouldn't Hyperloops be safer and a lot more efficient than spaceships? Basically, the trains vs flights debate of the future.
Ooof that must've hurt really really bad...
We already build spaceships that have to experience temperature differentials much much greater than what a hyper loop would have to experience. A Hyperloop would just be an inverted extension of this. Again, an engineering problem - not a physical one.
