Rapid global shrinkage foreseen by faster travel
A 19th century analysis predicts travel speeds will push world distances to a fraction of current reach. Ocean voyages will shorten, steamers may reach Mumbai in 10 days and Hong Kong in 17, with turbine and electric propulsion opening routes as swift as 40 mph. Such pace would unify nations, boost knowledge and trade, yet risk cultural shock and erosion of morals, as China and Europe draw nearer.
