    But once you get to round 33 34, everyone on earth is tied to the track, so there’s no one to pull the lever. That means that the trolley safely passes by, giving everyone ample time to free themselves. Eventually, the trolley stops due to friction with the track and air, plus brakes if it’s using them, and then we all stop getting tied to tracks.

      Also, I actually have my doubts that the trolley could get through 8 000 000 000 people before stopping due to the resistance, so at least some people should be fine.
