Then we take a deep dive into Switzerland’s Gotthard Base Tunnel: the massive engineering project built through the Alps. We talk giant tunnel-boring machines, using seismic technology and lasers to navigate solid rock, and the extreme safety systems needed to move trains at high speed underground. It’s a journey through human ingenuity, huge machines, and the strange places we build when the mountain is in the way.🎥 About Doing LearningDoing Learning is the podcast version of hanging out with curious friends on the couch. Daniel and McKyler follow their childlike curiosity into history, science, and strange stories—not to prove a point, but just to see what we’ll discover together. No pressure, no pop quizzes, just learning for the sake of learning and inviting you to wonder right along with us.Thank you to our Patrons: Liz D. Seth T. Irvin H. DaDog Brice T.
