The Blackest Black

OFF TOPIC

This is really cool. Science has created a "color" so black that it barely reflects any light. This can improve telescopes. It could also be used in thermal projects where trapping light is important. I bet this would trap a lot of the heat from sunlight and could be used to create heat.

Could this be the world's darkets material? -...

What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?

  And despite the great scientific achievement, it's still unable to trap the light reflected off that bald bulbous gourd of yours.

I love color and the absence of color stuff!

Anish Kapoor has received exclusive rights to use the pigment on/in his works.

  Queen of the world,...Claude has called his one God, but not in the literal sense.

  Queen was given to me by the owners of a pet store I sold African Cichlids to and she is one of the few short hairs we have owned. When she was a younger cat she was about as elegant as they come, and for many years she has been the only female we have --> hence, Queen of the World.
  
  Maybe you prefer one of my slightly less Vantablack kitties.

  These long haired lowriders are the cats our house is known for. Yep, that's his real name, Spaceman. Born Face, called Spaceman since probably 5 months of age.
