A time to build intercontinental bridges and super high speed trains.
It would help get rid of Airplanes and spare the world from those deadly plane crashes and plane disappearances in the middle of the sea like what we now sea in South east Asia.
As expensive and as unrealistic this would be, I actually agree with you.
But then again, it will take us an extremely long time if we were to travel from Sydney to Europe or North America. Nobody could cope with a painstaking, tiresome trip.
a high speed train can take you from LA to NYC in a half day.
I've heard of something even better, it needs no thousands of miles of high-speed rail infrastructure including electric transmission and generation, which is very costly to build and maintain. No bridges or tunnels invloved. In fact, it can travel between terminals using nothing but the earths atmosphere, with better fuel-efficiency, and it can make just as good time. Better, actually...

I think it's still lower, unless rail efficiency really drops with distance.

This has alot to do with how the way the train is powered. If it is electric, what is the power source. If alot of coal is burned, does it really make a difference. Especially when considering the distance, any train traveling from LA ta NYC wouldn't be conveniently or from a financial standpoint able to do the trip without a substantial amount of intermediate starts and stops. Several hundred or thousand tons of steel starting and stopping that is.
