You can, especially with records within reach, but some are so extreme that they may never be broken. These records stand in a league of their own.
Due to physical limitations, historical circumstances, and changing regulations, these records stand as unbreakable achievements.
1. The Longest Time Holding One’s Breath – 24 Minutes 37 Seconds
- Record Holder: Budimir Šobat (Croatia)
- Why It Can’t Be Broken: The human body has a limit on oxygen deprivation, even with elite training. Few can approach this record without risking serious harm.
2. The Heaviest Weight Ever Lifted – 6,270 lb (2,840 kg)
- Record Holder: Paul Anderson (USA, 1957)
- Why It Can’t Be Broken: Anderson lifted this weight using a back lift technique, something modern lifters have not even come close to replicating.
3. The Highest Score in a Single Boxing Round – 44 Points
- Record Holder: Willie Pep (USA, 1946)

4. The Most Officially Recognized Marriages – 104 Marriages
- Record Holder: Glynn Wolfe (USA)

- Record Holder: Robert Wadlow (USA)

6. The Fastest Tennis Serve – 163.7 mph (263.4 km/h)
- Record Holder: Sam Groth (Australia)

7. The Longest Fingernails Ever – 28 ft 4.5 in (8.65 m, combined)
- Record Holder: Shridhar Chillal (India)

- Record Holder: Soviet Union
- Why It Can’t Be Broken: Nuclear treaties and global regulations make it illegal to test or create a bomb of this size today.
