Almost everyone likes to surrender to speed. The thought of being faster than anyone or anything in the world has inspired man: everything from countless movie races to the use of technology to achieve goals. This time we have compiled a list of the fastest in the world, everything from a car, train and computer to the fastest growing organism in the world.
1. The fastest car in the world: Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, 431 km/h
Currently, the fastest road car (as distinct from concept cars and modified cars) is the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which can reach speeds of 431 km/h. While only five cars are currently built out of the thirty ordered, the other twenty-five will also reach this speed with the speed limiter off.
2. Fastest man in the world: Usain Bolt, 41.38 km/h
In 2009, Usain Bolt ran 100 meters in the 150 meter race in just 8.7 seconds. This is the fastest time ever recorded by a human being over a distance of one hundred meters. This is not an official world record as recognized by the IAAF, the International Association of Athletics Federations. Later in August, Bolt set the official world record for the 100 meters, which he ran in 9.58 seconds.
3. The fastest computer in the world: Tianhe-2, 33.86 trillion calculations per second
In November 2014, Tianhe-2, a supercomputer from China's University of Defense Technology, defended its position as the world's fastest computer, clocking 33.86 petaflops per second for the fourth year in a row, meaning it completed 542 operations in a single second. trillions of calculations. The supercomputer is currently located at Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China, and was developed by a team of thirteen hundred scientists and engineers.
4. The fastest train in the world: Maglev MLX01, 581 km/h
Developed by the Central Japann Railway Company (JR Central) and Kawasaki, the fastest train in the world reached a record speed of 581 km/h in 2003. The experimental Maglev MLX01 train uses magnetic levitation to travel.
5. The fastest animal in the world: Cheetah, 120 km/h
The cheetah, which inhabits most of Africa and parts of Iran, can run faster than any land animal. It can reach a speed of 120 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in three seconds. Cheetahs accelerate four times faster than humans, thanks to greater muscle power, and decelerate to 14 km/h in a single swing.

7. The fastest growing living thing: fungi
Pilobolus can grow at a speed of more than 70 km/h in the first millimeter of its growth.
8. Fastest temperature change: 27°C temperature rise in two minutes
On January 22, 1943, at 7:30 a.m. in Spearfish, South Dakota, USA, the temperature was -20°C. The wind changed the temperature to 7°C in two minutes, which is the fastest temperature change in the world so far.
9. Fastest rapper in the world: NoClue, 14.1 syllables per second
In January 2005, rapper NoClue won the title of fastest rapper in the world for 723 syllables in 51.27 seconds with his track New West. The experiment was recorded at B&G Studios Seattle in front of a licensed speech therapist.
10. The fastest slide in the world: Insano, 105 km/h
Isano is located in Fortaleza, Brazil and is the tallest slide in the world, namely 41 meters high. The average swimmer descends from a fourteen-story building in just four or five seconds, traveling at a speed of about 105 km/h. There is a pool at the end of the descent.
