You have a ways to go. The longest word (for some definitions of a word, anyway) is 189,819 letters long, and is the full chemical name for the protein titin. Here is a video of someone reading it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFR-ADakI-c Here is it written out: http://www.sarahmcculloch.com/luminary- ... gest-word/

Dear God. Half of those letters must me 'y's. Is it's chemical formula also that large?
Who the hell even invented that word?

It's the full chemical name for the largest protein ever discovered, so I suppose that it wasn't just someone smashing their head against their keyboard.
To some, it is not exactly a word. Depends on how you look at it.

Hm, you sure about that? I think it's more likely they glued a string of formulas together to pass it off as a word.

It's the coding sequence yes? The funny thing is, the rules for naming proteins are already in place, so when this was discovered and they had to identify it, they didn't have a choice! Fortunately, there are also common names that are accepted. And acronyms.

Thank god, although an acronym would be just as bad and even worse for pronounciation. I'm sure the actual formula is huge.

Luckily, there's the option of simply calling it the chemical formula of Tintin.
