Word's oldest light bulb produces light since 1901.
Holding Guinness World Record for the longest shining light bulb ever made.
It's been shinning for 112 years. It's placed in local fire station in
Livermore, California, USA.
Lynn Owens, who heads the light bulb's centennial committee, told Time.com:
"Nobody knows how it's possible. It is a 60-watt bulb and it's only turned
on for about four watts, but nobody knows why it keeps burning."
The bulb protector Steve Bunn said the secret is in
the way it was engineered. He also claimed it's the proof that things made in
the past were more durable than things made today.
Did you notice that products are made less durable
in order to provide more profit for the companies making them?
