Now I can't decide who's more awesome, Feynman or the guy who invented those ingenious train wheels.

Having a high IQ doesn't necessarily mean that you know stuff. You can have a very high IQ without knowing anything about physics at all, or be highly knowledgable about physics and have a low IQ.

The whole metal bends, its even a calcuation, a jet uses it to know how much power is applied. So, if the train has say 50,000 horses applied, well its actually torque, then the shaft rotated a foot. Anyway, don't know why boats aren't snakes either.

Train goes in, train goes out, you can't explain that.

I never thought someone could make me eager to read about trains for an hour on wikipedia.
