Top 5 Slowest Things in the World

Today’s world is running to create speed in almost every aspect of life, whether being cars, mobile phones, computers or to the extremes like biological cellular growth and genetics. Speed is a thing which is indeed craved by almost every human being and animals living on this planet but not all of the things are fortunate enough to be graced by the gift of speed.

So here are top 5 things that are the slowest things in this world:

1. Libya (Country with the slowest Internet Connection):

A world which is all set to witness the 5th generation internet and is craving for high definition connectivity around the globe has some countries like Libya where the speed is as low as 256 kbps. Since 2000, there has been no change in the number of optical fibre lines leading to a situation where about 52% of the total internet connections in the nation works under 256 kbps.

2. Peel 250 (Slowest Car):

It is hard to believe that a world who is aiming to create cars like Bugatti Chiron and Veyron, is yet focusing on the cars like Peel 250. With a maximum speed of 10 miles per hour (16 Kph). A car which is only 56 inches in length and has 3 tires only is considered to be the world’s slowest car.

3. House Sparrow (Slowest Bird):

A bird which travels at a maximum speed of 15 to 18 Mph (24-29 Kph) is amongst the slowest birds around the globe. Biologists say that this is because of their high rate of survival tendency and huge population. These birds have nothing but time in their hands so that’s why they are slow as they can be.

4. Dwarf Syngnathidas (Slowest Fish):

The Dwarf Syngnathidas is like a seahorse which swims as slowest as 5 feet per hour. It is recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records that the slowest fish is this species of seahorse only. They measure only 2cm in height and use their ability to hide at the most confined places when being hunted by a bigger fish. They could hold and be almost dead still with a rock which helps them survive the attackers.

5. As Slow as Possible (Slowest Song):

The longest and the slowest song in the world is this song. The song which is listed as a heritage in the history of the music industry is a song which is constructed and designed to go on for 639 years. This song was composed by Late Composer John Cage. It was initially of 20 minutes that too on the piano but then a few philosophers and artists chose this song to be the worlds longest and slowest music art. The song is to end in the year 2640.
