What is the narrowest tower in the world?

 The Steinway Tower.

It's the thinnest skyscraper in the world – and as if that weren't remarkable enough, its interior is also extremely luxurious. At 435 meters tall and with a base width of just 17.91 meters, it holds the record for the world's narrowest skyscraper with a ratio of 1:24. The building stands directly on Central Park in New York, on the site of the former headquarters of the renowned piano manufacturer Steinway & Sons.

Ninety-one stories rise into the sky at 111 West 57th Street, defining the New York City skyline. The building contains a total of 46 residential units – some spanning a single floor, others duplexes. The foyers are finished with limestone, marble, blackened steel, and velvet. The floors are made of solid oak in a smoky gray tone. Original works by Picasso and Matisse are also part of the decor.

What are the most unusual train stations in the world?

 Let me mention one from my own experience. It was one of those unexpected travel experiences that I love.

Traveling through France with my wife and two teenage sons, heading towards Spain. Crossing the Pyrenees! We were traveling by public transport and had taken the bus in Pau that would take us over the mountains to Spain. The beauty of traveling without a detailed plan is that you let yourself be surprised, because what is the point of visiting a place you already know from travel brochures? That "we'll see" mentality paid off handsomely back then.

Once over the highest mountain pass, filled with admiration for the Tour de France heroes who had conquered these barren heights standing on their pedals, we descended again to more vegetated areas. And there, a fairytale-like phenomenon unfolded before our eyes: there, in the middle of nowhere, lay a beautiful, grand palace! An enormous Baroque main building with two huge wings on either side!

We decided to get off there. The adjacent insignificant little village was called Canfranc-Estación. As it turned out, the palace was actually a huge, abandoned train station… So we set out to explore. The enormous station hall was deserted, with a few old newspapers blowing around. A row of deserted ticket counters. Large halls that had been set up for luggage inspection by customs officers… now eerily deserted, but it felt as if there was a hive of activity, with ghostly apparitions of wealthy international travelers and stern officials in uniforms and caps.

When we stepped onto the platform, an enormous railway yard stretched out before us, with switches and rusted hoists to transfer the wagons from French-gauge undercarriages to the non-standard Spanish gauge. All those rusted tracks were overgrown with weeds, bushes, and fruit-bearing strawberry plants—delicious sweet strawberries! If you tried to flip a rusty switch—some still managed it—the lizards scattered in all directions; for some, it had cost them a piece of their tail. And then those delightfully creepy, long, abandoned tunnels underneath—you really have to experience that.

It turned out that the station had once been an important link in the connection between Spain and France, a grand project from the pre-war Franco era intended to connect Madrid with Paris. However, the tunnel under the Pyrenees, the Somport Tunnel, had been damaged by a collapse and never repaired.

The station hotel was also out of service, so we had to seek refuge in a small, youth hostel-style hotel in the village. A few days later, we took the only train still stopping at the station, the local train to Jaca, departing twice a day.

This experience was so beautiful! I'm including a picture from the internet so you can get a bit of an impression.

What is the strongest bridge in the world?

 The Anji Bridge in China is the world's oldest and strongest stone arch bridge. Built between 595 and 605 AD during the Sui Dynasty, it was designed by a craftsman named Li Chun. It was the world's first segmental arch bridge to be built of stone. Over the past 1,400 years of its history , the bridge has survived ten floods, at least eight wars, and numerous earthquakes, including the 7.2-magnitude earthquake of 1966. The supporting structure remained intact, and the bridge is still in use today and remains completely safe.

What are some of the scariest places in the world?

 I'd say this place is one of the creepiest places on the planet...

Do you recognize him?

At its peak, it was the most densely populated place on Earth...

At its peak in 1959, there were 5,259 people here, with a population density of 216,264 people per square mile.

By comparison, Hong Kong in 2011 had a population density of approximately 17,000 people per square mile.

Living conditions were almost like prisons, and families had to share kitchens and sleep in bathrooms.

Although most of the structures were 9 stories high, there were no elevators.

So, people moved around by going up and down very unstable stairs to go from floor to floor and through tunnels to go from one building to another.

This staircase was known as the stairway to hell!

Actually, it is an island that was inhabited between 1887 and 1974 and at one time, it was a coal mine.

It is also the first place in the world to use reinforced concrete to build apartment buildings.

Have you already discovered where this place is?

No? Very well, I'll tell him.

It is an island off the southwest coast of Japan, about nine miles from Nagasaki, and was owned by the Mitsubishi Corporation until 2002.

It's called Hashima Island.

When it was abandoned, all the mining equipment and apartment furniture were left behind. There's even an old, rusty X-ray machine in what used to be the doctor's office.

Do you have the courage to go there?

Well, maybe, there are regular tourist visits to the island for those who like to take pictures of scary abandoned places.

I'm sure I wouldn't want to spend the night there alone!

It was even used as a set in the James Bond movie Skyfall.

Do you recognize it now?

I thought I could!

What are some scientific discoveries that have changed the world?

 According to Isaac Asimov, the truly important scientific discovery was when Benjamin Franklin published his paper in 1752 stating that "lightning is an electrical phenomenon."

As they say, it's no exaggeration to say that this changed everything. Previous scientific discoveries were only important to other scientists; they had no bearing on humanity as a whole. When Galileo published his geocentric theory, the church opposed it, but it didn't make much of an impression on the general public.

However, Franklin's discovery led to very practical applications.

This is one of Franklin's "lightning rods," a device designed to prevent lightning from striking buildings.

This spread like wildfire, like, "Oh, I don't know, maybe it was lightning?" Within 10 years, churches were the only ones not using lightning rods, because they believed lightning was the work of God and a specific reward from Him. However, after lightning struck a church where gunpowder was stored, (perhaps because God likes churches?) churches also began to adopt them.

The idea that science can solve real-world problems began with lightning rods, and before we knew it, the strange phenomenon of "electricity" came to be used for all sorts of purposes.

For motors that do not require flames,

Bright, inexpensive, and safe lighting,

For extremely fast computers, etc.

Who is the most honest person in the world?

 The Bank of England holds 400,000 gold bars, worth £200 billion (€230 billion). This vault is extremely secure, and no one has been able to obtain these treasures. In fact, these gold bars have not been stolen in 320 years.

However, with the exception of February 16, 1836, the bank executives received anonymous letters. The authors of these letters instructed them to meet "inside the savings vault," where all the gold bullion was located, and to go at a time of their choosing. The astonished executives went to the location that night…

Upon arrival, they found nothing. There was no sound. However, the executives heard footsteps coming from underground. A few seconds later...a man appeared! He was a sewer worker who had accidentally discovered an old tunnel that led directly to the vault. The bank rewarded him with the equivalent of 100,000 euros!

That's a very small reward considering the value of the Bank of England.

Which lake occupies the most unique position in the natural world?

 Lake Itomori, which appeared as a meteorite lake in "Your Name."

What if such a meteorite lake actually existed?

Yes, they exist.

In the New Quebec Crater on Canada's Ungava Peninsula, there is a meteorite lake called Lake Pingaluit.

The name comes from the Inuit word "pingalui," which means "acne."

While any meteorite lake is rare, this lake is considered to have the most beautiful shape of any meteorite lake in the world. Since the release of the movie "Your Name," this lake has become famous for its unique form.

In fact, this lake also holds a special title: it is "one of the clearest lakes in the world ." And for good reason. This lake is actually located about 100 meters above the elevation of the land where the crater is situated. As a result, there are no inflowing rivers, and the water is stored from snow and rain, with few soil particles, so you can see up to 35 meters below with the naked eye.

This crater lake is 3.44 km in diameter and 267 m deep. The meteorite eroded about 100 m of the ground where the crater is located, creating a plateau over 100 m high around the crater. The photo below shows a diagram illustrating the height of the New Quebec Crater.

Water occupies about 70-80% of this depression, making it one of the deepest lakes in North America. With a salinity of less than 3 ppm (compared to 500 ppm in the Great Lakes), it is one of the world's purest freshwater lakes, possessing a unique and precious water quality.

The crater and its surroundings are part of Pingaluit National Park in Canada, which was formed in 2004. Why not see with your own eyes this precious place where Earth's history changed?
