National Geographic and Guinness World Records both say that this is the tallest pass road in the world! You’d definitely need to watch for rockslides here.

The 1200-meter long tunnel literally goes right through this mountain!

3. Dalton Highway, Alaska

316555-crazyroads03-900-d447e921fe-1484142741

It’s known as the snowiest and most isolated road in the world, and man, does it look cold! We wouldn’t want to get a flat tire here.

4. Eshima Ohashi Bridge, Japan

This looks more like a rollercoaster than a bridge! It was built like this so that large ships could easily pass underneath.

5. Atlantic Ocean Road, Norway

Tourists love this road for all of the breathtaking views. Just be mindful of the ocean waves crashing up the sides.

6. Zoji La, India

316705-crazyroads01-900-4ca6c8e46d-1484142741

This road was built to connect Ladakh and Kashmir. Aside from being rocky, it’s also extremely narrow! That’s not an ideal situation when you have to fit vehicles and livestock.

7. Hana, Hawaii

316755-crazyroads08-900-6e2f867251-1484142741

Often closed due to landslides, this narrow road is on the island of Maui.

8. ‘Kolima’, Russia

316805-crazyroads09-900-6e2f867251-1484142741

Nicknamed “the death road,” the first portion of this highway was built by prisoners. Construction began in 1932, but wasn’t completed until 1953. It looks pretty spooky!

9. Yungas Road, Bolivia

Built right up to the edge of a cliff, this road is considered one of the top most dangerous in the world. It sadly takes 200-300 lives a year.

10. Le Passage du Gois, France

316905-noirmoutier-900-6e2f867251-1484142741

This road is only open for a few hours a day. When it’s closed, it’s because it’s completely submerged underwater. At least the view is beautiful!

11. “Caucasus’ Road, Russia

316955-crazyroads17-900-6e2f867251-1484142741

This narrow mountain road may be terrifying, but the views are also incredible!

12. Transfăgărășan, Romania

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
