[ShadowsLiyte]

This is the chemical name for titin. it is 189,819 letters long and apparently takes 7 minutes to say xD

Enjoy as Haruhi stares into your soul :emhh37:

Well you're kinda right, except its a liiitle bit more than thirty.i was gunna post the full name, but thatd probably be a stupid idea so heres a link to it.

Whoah, that is the biggest text wall I've ever seen.:emhh21:

[solidoxygen]

That's pretty interesting, but personally I really don't even consider those scientific terms as words.

They're just strings of scientific/chemical classifications and descriptions of the specific chemical. Heck, that 'word' had the letters "glut" and various other letter combinations hundreds of times.

If a dash is allowed in a word, then great-great-great-great...great-grandfather/mother is the longest word. :/

[MioAkiyama]

ok it would considered me spamming if i copy pasted the text here

[alucardiume]

huhu.. thats odd. O_o it's like listening to a different praying ritual. xD
Why make it that hard to remember were they can just say it simple and easy to remember.

Ohh Great Human's xs

[otakuq]

Lol, im the one who posted the video woo!

i'd also like to add, that we tried both the Male, and Female AI voices. the Male was unable to do it, and thus we had to use the female voice. Apparently guys get tongue twisted easier.

[OVirus53]

I had to stop listening. I started spacing out and started hearing some REALLY messed up things.

[Capone3830]

i see birds ^_^ in my room ^_^ they are pink ^_^

[Romdeau]

I think I just got mindf***ed.

[visualcandyk]

I would hate for a few people to try and hold a conversation revolving around that word. Would take forever!

[jeiru01]

whoa. what a long word.
why would anyone make a chemical name, as long as this.

ah, scientists..

[lemonsquare]

hmm. i dunno.. I think they want to complicate some things.. heheh

[lightsideXD]

who thought this was a good idea?? why not give it a nick name?? sure it wont be hard... *scrolls down the long page*

interesting stuff tho! thanks!

[qwertyuiop10]

what the?
if you listen its just repeated
but not..

why did they name the titin that?
so long~whahaha

Seriously? Wow that's fun. Good for you.
Honestly, I studied Biology before and it's already annoying to remember all the funny words they use already.. Imagine having to write that in an examination...
Or even a linguistic oral examination. (the proper one where you speak)

-drool goes out- -white part of eyes very seen black part is nowhere to be found-

[bloodyrein]

I think my soul is already leaving my body darn that's just to long for me that the can kill just by listening XD

[mlcdl]

That is a scientific name right?


OR it just a random of someone out there

[Grainbay]

I doubt anyone would be interested, but it seems that this is really the real chemical name of titin.
It has the longest chemical name because it's the largest known protein.
Essentially a protein is like a string of beads, where "amino acids" are the "beads" that chain together to make a string (protein). So "the longest English word" is just a list naming the different "beads" in the order they appear.

[Keir06]

I could post it here but then it says "20,000 only"

because that word has 189,819 letters

how sad :((

but anway that's cool! :)

[erikachan]

i read about this one.. yah it's chemical name for titin.. the largest known protein and is argued whether it is a word

[egreyes]

.... hearing it is quite annoying and even reading it .....

.... the name itself is not practical but that's how science is .....

.... we can't argue with that!

[Mipzter]

OMG that was the so creepy O_O

added haruhi's face = win!

[Rasen Oh]

It must have sucked to be the first person to write that out.

[dab117]

because proteins are made of very long amide chains, that sometimes consist more than 70 amide linkages, it bound to be one of the longest word. however, a word that is very long that also has meaning unlike lys-lys-trp-trp-ala-ala (x999) whatever is hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia....which is ironically a fear of big words

[p4pex33]

if you write it down, you may be accused for spamming.. haha

[Snoozy19]

Thats interesting not insane.

[SH1Tmakasit]

Oh yeah now i remember... that chemical name was on our science club(IGNITE) T-shirt...
...so this doesn't surprise me as much as i saw that T-shirt, but i have one question though
who made that (scientific)name?

It's the name of all of the amino acids in the protein, lol. Titin is a protein used as a bonding site for muscle proteins (credit to Wikipedia)

Add up the numbers in the above. That's what you just heard xD

[Strife]

I thought the longest word was some lung disease O.O

Lol I could barely understand what that thing was saying

I think I've said this before, but when my friend made it this was the only voice that could record it. All of the other voice generators failed xD

[LeonCarreon]

Aww... The video's been taken down... :(

I wonder what the word meant... o.O

[SH1Tmakasit]

Heres a thought
TRY to say the chemical name of titin if you DARE

I cant post it coz its too long

[atensox]

WTF!! what's the meaning of that?!~
