its the chemical name of the 'titin' protein found in the human body [video=youtube;NFR-ADakI-c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFR-ADakI-c[/video]
Sounds like he was reciting the Hebrew Scriptures.
So... what the fuck does it mean? I can't find it in the dictionary book...
Did they pause the video for a day? The flower's dead at the end.
pfft, i've read longer
[QUOTE=Vesu;38530862]Did they pause the video for a day? The flower's dead at the end.[/QUOTE] And he has a beard, so a bit longer than a day. Maybe one and a half days seeing he sounds Russian.
Who even gave it that name.
sounds russian [editline]asdf[/editline] nvm hes actually russian
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_word_in_English[/url] It seriously looks like someone just smashed in random letters :v:
Oh wow hahahah! Look at this facial hair at the beginning then compare it to his hair at the end.
Imagine having to do that at a spelling bee infront of thousands of people [i]Okay now the thing we would like you to spell is the Full Chemical Name for "Titin"[/i] Titin.. Okay here we go *takes giant fucking gulp of water*
engish's? [sp]the guy who came up with it knew what he was doing[/sp]
I found the script removed
[QUOTE=Midas22;38530938]I found the script[/QUOTE] duuude
[QUOTE=WaffleCopter;38530878]Who even gave it that name.[/QUOTE] It's the IUPAC designation for the protein. It's simply a formula used to generate names for chemicals. For example a carbon chain with only one carbon atom would be designated "methane", with four carbon atoms it would be called "butane". With a chain of three carbon atoms connected to a chain of 1 carbon atom on the second carbon atom of the first chain, you would call it "2-methylpropane". This happens to be the largest protein in the human body so its automatic IUPAC designation is incredibly large.
It's actually the largest protein. Like, the flat out largest protein ever known, and it isn't all that bizarre, it's in the human body and it's quite common. The empirical formula for it is C[SUB]169723[/SUB]H[SUB]270 464[/SUB]N[SUB]45688[/SUB]O[SUB]52243[/SUB]S[SUB]912[/SUB]
[QUOTE=Midas22;38530938]I found the script Cool.[/QUOTE] Props to the guy for being able to pronounce the entire thing with ease. It would take me a year to read all of that in one go.
If it has that many elements in it then I suppose I can understand the huge name now...
oh man I thought it was going to be one long thing but it has various cuts, most noticeable is this [t]http://puu.sh/1stju[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/1stjG[/t]
This needs some reducing. [sp]That's not applicable at all sorry[/sp]

after a while it just sounds like some unnatural chant
Fun fact, it has 1909 letters and is found in DNA, if I'm correct...

Alternatively, the longest actual word in English is antidisestablishmentarianism. Anything longer is coined gibberish (floccinaucinihilipilification or supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) or a chemical name for some massive protein.
