Lightest substance in the world, used for catching space dust, like congealed smoke.

  • @Igreendaylinkinpark Aerogel just looks blurry like that, it isn't nicknamed "solid smoke" or "frozen smoke" for nothing :)

  • thats how aerogel is

  • Camera can't focus on aerogel?

  • @Ambu1993 You are correct about that. I didn't realize I was responding to a response. I thought you were referring to the material in the video. Oops my bad.

  • @20vtmk1 Nope SEAgel is indead lighter than Aerogel, since it is filled with Helium, I think.

  • @mfgootcagfy Nope. If it were lighter than air it would be floating (neglecting the possibility it is held to the table with static electricity). It is much more likely that this is silica aerogel, which is in fact more dense than air.

  • Damnit! i guess i will never know how much that weighs.

  • @superbloody24 Nope, SEAgel, lighter than air.

  • Lightest solid
