The 12 Longest and Most Difficult Words in English
1. Honorificabilitudinitatibus
This word has 27 letters which appears in Love’s Labour’s Lost, Act V, Scene I, which means “invincible glorious” or “Honorableness.” It is the ablative plural of the Latin contrived honorificabilitudinitas, which is an extension of honorificabilis meaning “honorableness.” This word was spoken by Costard in Shakespeare’s plays:
O, they have lived long on the alms-basket of words.
I marvel thy master hath not eaten thee for a word;
for thou art not so long by the head as
honorificabilitudinitatibus: thou art easier
swallowed than a flap-dragon.
2. Antidisestablishmentarianism
This is the best known long word which has 28 letters. It means “opposition to the withdrawal of state support or recognition from an established church, esp. the Anglican Church in 19th-century England” as explained in Dictionary.com. Specifically, it is the political philosophy that is opposed to the separation of the church and state.
3. Floccinauccinihilipilification
This 30- letter-word is a non-scientific English word and it appears in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. It is longer than antidisestablishmentarianism. The 1992 Guinness Book of World Records calls floccinaucinihilipilification “the longest real word in the Oxford English Dictionary,” It means “act or habit to deny the value of some particular things” but some dictionaries translate it as “the act of considering something to be worthless.”
4. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
This 34-letter word appears in the Oxford English Dictionary. It is a word specifically created for a song in the movie Mary Poppins until its film version of the musical was popular enough that everyone got to know this word.
5. Hepaticocholangiocholecystenterostomies
This 39-letter long is the longest word found in Gould’s Medical Dictionary. It is a surgical terminology, which refers to surgical creation of a connection between the gall bladder and a hepatic duct and between the intestine and the gall bladder.
6. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
This 45-letter long word is the longest word found in dictionaries. According to the eighth edition of Webster dictionary, it means, “pneumoconiosis disease caused by inhaling small particles of quartzite.” This is the scientific name for a coal miner’s disease, which is particularly caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust. It is the lung disease that miners in Africa came down with from getting silicon silvers in their lungs.

Tupolev Tu-144 --concorde is not the first one
The Tupolev Tu-144 was the world's first supersonic transport aircraft.
The Tu-144 first broke the speed of sound on 5 June 1969, and on 15 July 1969.
A total of 16 airworthy Tu-144s were built.
Maximum speed: March 2 (2,500 km/h, 1,550 mph)
Used for military pruposes.
Retired - June 1978

solar terminator - how sky remain illuminated even after sunset
The terminator or twilight zone is a fictive line that delimits the illuminated day side and the dark night side of a planetary body (also known as the "grey line"). On Earth, the terminator is a circular line with a diameter that is approximately that of the Earth. Apart from polar regions, the terminator passes through any point on the Earth's surface twice a day: at sunrise and sunset.
At the equator, under flat conditions (no obstructions such as mountains; or at a height above any such obstructions), the terminator line moves at approximately 1600 kilometers per hour (1000 miles per hour). This speed can appear to be increased when near obstructions -- such as the height of a mountain, for example -- as the shadow of the obstruction will be broadcast over the ground in advance of the terminator line along a flat landscape. The speed of the terminator line decreases as one approaches the poles, where it can reach a speed of zero (full-day sunlight or darkness).
Concorde and the Tupolev Tu-144 were the only passenger airplanes able to overtake the maximum speed of the terminator. However, slower vehicles can overtake the terminator at higher latitudes, with it possible to walk faster than the terminator at the poles, near to the solstices. The visual effect is that of seeing the sun rise in the west.
Examination of the terminator can yield information about the surface of the body; for example, the presence of an atmosphere can create a fuzzier terminator. As the particles within an atmosphere are at a higher elevation, the light source can remain visible even after it has set at ground level. These particles scatter the light, reflecting some of it to the ground. Hence, the sky can remain illuminated even after the sun has set.

all about concorde...the fastest passenger airplane
The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde aircraft was a turbojet-powered supersonic passenger airliner, a supersonic transport.
Maximum speed: 2,330 km/h
Range: 7,250 km
Rate of climb: 5,000 ft/min (25.41 m/s)
Maximum nose tip temperature: 127 °C
Range: 7,250 km
Rate of climb: 5,000 ft/min (25.41 m/s)
Maximum nose tip temperature: 127 °C
Concorde travels in less than half the time of other airliners. While commercial jets take eight hours to fly from New York to Paris, the average supersonic flight time on the transatlantic routes was just under 3.5 hours. In transatlantic flight, Concorde travelled more than twice as fast as other aircraft — other aircraft frequently appeared to be flying backwards.
With only 20 aircraft ultimately built, the costly development phase represented a substantial economic loss. Additionally, Air France and British Airways were subsidised by their governments to buy the aircraft. As a result of the type's only crash (on 25 July 2000), world economic effects arising from the 9/11 attacks, and other factors, operations ceased on 24 October 2003. The last "retirement" flight occurred on 26 November 2003.
According to the official investigation conducted by the French accident investigation bureau (BEA), the crash was caused by a titanium strip, part of a thrust reverser, that fell from a Continental Airlines DC-10 that had taken off about four minutes earlier. This metal fragment punctured a tyre on the left main wheel bogie. The tyre exploded, and a piece of rubber hit the fuel tank and broke an electrical cable. The impact caused a hydrodynamic shockwave that fractured the fuel tank some distance from the point of impact. This caused a major fuel leak from the tank, which then ignited due to severed electrical wires which were sparking. The crew shut down engine number 2 in response to a fire warning but were unable to retract the landing gear, hampering the aircraft's climb. With engine number 1 surging and producing little power, the aircraft was unable to gain height or speed, entering a rapid pitch-up then a violent descent, rolling left. The impact occurred with the stricken aircraft tail-low, crashing into the Hotelissimo Hotel in Gonesse.
Prior to the accident, Concorde had been arguably the safest operational passenger airliner in the world in terms of passenger deaths-per-kilometres travelled with zero. After the accident, the death rate was 12.5 fatal events per million flights, more than three times that of the second worst aircraft. However, no aircraft's safety can be accurately measured from a single incident, and safety improvements were made in the wake of the crash.
During the crash, there was so much heat coming out of the tail of the concorde that even the skin of the person sitting in the car on the road was affected. I myself watched this on Discovery documentary on corcorde.
high speed rail...spead freakers do read
Maximum speed records
A one time specially modified system and trainset record was set by the manned TGV's 574.8 km/h run, however it is far from a typical situation. The sheer amount of smoke emitted from the train is evidence that it was meant for proof of concept and not for passenger runs. Safety, cost, reliability, mass production are major concerns for high speed rail engineers and designers, which would not allow such conditions in a scheduled passenger run. 
The record for railed vehicles however is 10,325 km/h (6,416 mph) by an unmanned rocket sled by the United States Air Force.
The fastest maximum operating speed (MOR) of ANY segment of any high speed rail line, currently 350 km/h (217 mph), a record held by China.

Zero is infinite, because nothing has no boundaries. Nothing has no limits.
Zero is the sum of all positive and negative numbers. Therefore, zero is the equivalent of all numbers.

need to know about number plates in india
MH 01 CA 1002
The first two alphabets MH indicate that the vehicle is from the state Maharashtra. The next two are the district (In this case the capital Mumbai). CA 1002 is the unique licence plate number. In some states (such as the union territory of Delhi) the initial 0 of the district code is omitted; thus Delhi district 2 numbers appear as DL 2 not DL 02.
The National Capital Territory of Delhi has an additional code in the registration code:
DL 11 C AA 1111
Where DL is the two letter code for Delhi (DL). The additional C (for category of vehicle) is the letter 'S' for two-wheelers, 'C' for cars and SUVs, 'P' for public passenger vehicles such as buses, 'R' for three-wheeled rickshaws, 'T' for tourist licenced vehicles and taxis, 'V' for pick-up trucks and vans and 'Y' for hire vehicles. Thus a Delhi-specific example is:
DL 5 S AB 9876
The last four digits are unique to the vehicle. Usually, the lower 100 numbers are government registered numbers, but it may not always be the case. Special lucky numbers such as 3333 or 6666 fetch a premium and may touch above rupees 10,000.
Prior to 2005 Karnataka used to charge Rs 1000 for obtaining a unique last four digit number. These numbers used to be issued either from the current running series or from one or two future series. When the numbering system was computerised numbers could be issued from any future series. However the Karnataka RTO has now steeply hiked these charges to Rs 6000 if the number to be obtained is in the current series, and Rs 25,000 if it is to be issued from a future series.
As of 2007, Maharashtra has increased the price of unique numbers to the range of Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 1,25,000.
If all the 9999 numbers are used up, the RTO adds the letter 'A before the number space so that more numbers can be accommodated. In some states, the two letters also give the description of the make of the vehicle. Eg. In Mumbai, MH-01 AA would point to a two-wheeler; where as MH-01 CA is a small car. MH-01 J **** and MH-01 X **** are taxis.
Military vehicles have a unique numbering system unlike any other licence numbers. The numbers are registered by the Ministry of Defence in New Delhi and appear to have a pseudo-random numbering. The first (or the third) character is always an arrow pointing upwards. The first two digits signify the year in which the Military procured the vehicle.
Vehicle belonging to foreign missions bear the plates CD or CC, which stand for Diplomatic Corps or Consular Corps respectively. A diplomatic plate numbered 13 CC xxxx would refer to country 13, probably a country close to the letter A or B. For example, a vehicle bearing the number 77 CD xxxx in India refers to a vehicle owned by either the United States mission in India or by a person working with the mission. As per international law cars bearing these licence plates enjoy diplomatic immunity.
In the early 2000s, the number plate colouring scheme changed from white over black (SAA 1111) to black over white (SAA 1111) for private non-commercial vehicles, and from black over white (SAA 1111) to black over yellow (SAA 1111) for all other vehicles. The usage of the older colour scheme was made illegal after a period during which both styles were tolerated.

facts about transport in india....worth read
Transport in the Republic of India is an important part of the nation's economy. With a land area of 3,287,240 km2 (1,269,210 sq mi) and an estimated population of 1,028,737,436 transport in India is both a necessity as well as a convenience.
Some 40% of villages in India lack access to all-weather roads and remain isolated during the monsoon season.
Although India has only 1% of the world's vehicles, it accounts for 8% of the world's vehicle fatalities. India's cities are extremely congested : the average bus speed is 6–10 km/h in many large cities.
India's rail network is the longest of any country and fourth most heavily used system in the world.
The first rapid transit system in India, the Mumbai Suburban Railway, was established in Mumbai in 1867. It transports 63 lakh (6.3 million) passengers everyday and has the highest passenger density in the world.
The number of automobiles produced in India rose from 63 lakh (6.3 million) in 2002-03 to 1.1 crore (11.2 million) in 2008-09.
Over the 20 year period since its introduction, about 24 lakh (2.4 million) units of the Maruti 800 have been sold.
India's rail network is the longest in the world. Trains run at an average of around 50-60 km/h, which means that it can take more than two days to get from one corner of the country to another.The rail network traverses through the length and breadth of the country, covering a total length of around 63,000 km (39,000 miles). Out of this a total 16,693 km of track has been electrified till now and 12,617 km have double tracks.
As of 2005, India has a total of 66,590 km of National Highways, of which 200 km are classified as expressways.
About 65% of freight and 80% passenger traffic is carried by the roads.
National Highways constitute only about 2% of the road network but carry about 40% of the total road traffic .
Number of vehicles has been growing at an average pace of 10.16% per annum over the last five years.
Type of Road Length
Expressways 200 km
National Highways 66,590 km
State Highways 131,899 km
Major District Roads 467,763 km
Rural and Other Roads 2,650,000 km
Total Length 3,300,000 km (Approx)
In India about 95% of the trade by quantity and 77% by value take place through the ports.
The Indira Gandhi International Airport and the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport handle more than half of the air traffic in South Asia.
India also has the world's highest helipad at the Siachen Glacier a height of 6400 metre (21,000 ft) above mean sea level.
