objectively

A word that is commonly confused with subjectively, consequently, or something that ends with "ly". "Objectively" is an adverb, used to describe the subject being presented in an impersonal manner.

The word is used unnecessarily by people who have the habit of adding lengthy words to make them feel like their texts have more credibility, but it makes them look like that scumbag who would write reports with excessive amounts of text rather than getting to the point.

Quality is more important than quantity is what they say. We objectively don't need people using "objectively" to make their texts look more meaningful. See what I did there? Remove the "objectively" after "We", and you'll have something that is more readable.

object

Definition of Object: That which holds shape.

Explanation:
That which holds shape is thus seen or felt, otherwise we would not know "it" had shape, and in turn, to hold shape and be experienced or detected, a minimum volume and density of mass are needed. Shape can be naturally formed, or shape can be given to form an object, which is then usually named.
"Nature does not require an object, yet to perform physics, we do".

Fastest man-made object

On the 17th of April, 1976, space craft Helios 2 set the record for the fastest man-made object at approximately 150,000mph; 241,350 km/h; 203.25 times the speed of sound at -3 degrees Celsius (see Mach); or about 1/4470th the speed of light.
Don't worry about the passengers' brains melting, the fastest man-made object was unmanned. The fastest *Manned* Vehicle was the Apollo 10 capsule on re-entry at ~24,790 mph (39,885 km/h) on the 26th of May 1969.
