Not How Acceleration Works
The physics police would like a word with this headline! Reaching 700 km/h in two seconds is indeed impressive, but claiming Delhi to Mumbai (1,398 km) in 4 seconds? That's approximately 350 km/s or about 1/857th the speed of light! Even if this maglev train maintained its top speed without acceleration time, the journey would still take 2 hours. This headline confuses acceleration (reaching a speed) with maintaining that speed over distance. It's like saying "I can run 100 meters in 10 seconds, therefore I can run a marathon in 70 seconds." The laws of physics demand satisfaction... and possibly a correction notice.
