It's 15 fastest things in the universe the fastest man in the known universe is a title currently held by Jamaican sprinter and Olympic champion Usain Bolt he holds the Olympic world record for the hundred meters set at nine point six nine seconds and running the 200 meter at nineteen
point three seconds he's maintained this title for years and has even come to be known as lightning bolt because of his speed the fastest time 100-meter run for any living creature belongs to the cheetah specifically a cheetah named Sara at the Cincinnati Zoo she ran 100
meters in just five point nine five seconds at 61 miles per hour achieving this on June 20th 2012 some cheetahs can run faster or slower than others just like humans but in general a cheetah will leave a human in the dust in a short race the fastest fish in theworld is the sailfish which is actually two different species of the same genus sto forests they have a distinct dorsal fin which looks like a sail giving them their names they also have a elongated bill which makes them look like a swordfish they are excellent hunters having recorded speeds of 110 kilometres per hour or
70 miles per hour this is the highest speed reported of a fish it can go about as fast as a speeding caron a free way the peregrine falcon also known as the duck hawk in North America
is a bird of prey that is also known as the fastest bird in the world it can reach speeds of over 200 miles per hour or 322 kilometers per hour while it's diving from the air not only is it the fastest bird with diving speeds at that speed that makes it the fastest animal on earth China revealed a supercomputer in June of 2016 a huge system with ten point six five million
computer cores built entirely with Chinese micro processors this is actually in response to a US government ruling that denied China any access to Intel's fast microprocessors now China's newest system called the Sun way Tahu light is faster than any american-made system its peak performance is 120 4.5 petaflop a single petaflop is equal to one quadrillion sustained floating-point operations per second formula Rossa is a launched roller coaster in ferrari world a theme park in Abu Dhabi the formula Rossa is currently the world's fastest roller coaster that has a top
speed of 239 km/h or 149 miles per hour the coaster accelerates to the speed in just under 5 seconds because of its hydraulic launch system this acceleration beats the best and fastest commercially available cars the fastest land vehicle ever created is the thrust supersonic car
also known as thrust SSC it set the world land speed record on October 15 1997 when it achieved a speed of 763 miles per hour or 1228 km/h it achieved speeds so fast that it actually broke the sound barrier making it the first land vehicle to do so the fastest man plane in existence is the North American x-15 which is a rocket plane that made its first flight in June 1959 by October 1967 it shattered any previous air speed records by making speeds of 4,500 20 miles per hour or 7200 74 kilometers per hour it utilizes rocket engines to achieve these
speeds it also reached altitudes exceeding 100 kilometers or 62.1 miles which qualifies as a spaceflight the fastest train in the world unsurprisingly resides in Japan Japan railways broke its own record when their newest train travelled at 603 kilometers per hour or 374 miles per hour
at its fastest the train can cover a mile in just 10 seconds which is almost too fast breanne it is a maglev bullet train which means it uses electromagnets to levitate above the tracks levitating and the super aerodynamic nose of the Train allow it to minimize friction and go as fast as possible the stellar-mass black hole i gr j one seven zero nine one located in the Milky Way
galaxy is pulling gas away from a nearby star and has turned that gas into sort of a disk around the black hole this is creating a driving wind with record shattering speeds NASA's Chandra x-ray Observatory has clocked those speeds at around 20 million miles per hour or just around 32 million kilometers per hour in comparison the fastest winds on earth measured at 253 miles per hour or 408 km/h New Horizons is a mission funded by NASA in which a space probe was sent out to do some observations of the farthest reaches of our solar system its goal is to fly out as
far as possible and observe Pluto Nix Hydra and Chiron now it has set its goals as far as the Kuiper belt to observe things like that it had reached a velocity of 36,000 372 miles per hour or 58,000 536 km/h in the grand scheme of the universe our earth can seem pretty lame a year on
our planet takes 365 days but a year on kepler-78b a distant planet takes only eight and a half hours to complete an orbit around its star this might be the shortest orbital period for any planet in our observable universe however kepler-78b speed a year can be blamed on how close it is to the Sun which means it's also almost entirely covered in molten lava one of the fastest objects observed was discovered on accident when astronomers were studying the m87 galaxy in the Virgo cluster which is nearly 54 million light years from the Milky Way we saw an object
moving towards us at a speed 638 miles or 1026 km/s they believe this blue streak is actually a star cluster that was shot out from a black hole theabsolute fastest thing in the universe are particles of light its speed and velocity through empty space is a constant of nature to which the
speed of other things is compared to in a vacuum the speed of light is currently defined as being exactly 186 thousand two hundred eighty two point three nine seven miles per second that's the fastest thing any human has experienced and it might be as fast as anything can ever travel a tachyon is a hypothetical particle that always moves faster than light it was first proposed to exist back in the 1960s and it's still postulated about to this day with our current
knowledge of physics tachyon particles cannot exist because moving faster than light is impossible.
