Ok, here it is....AEROGEL


This is the coolest shit I have seen in a long time. Aerogel is 99.8 percent AIR, yet it can hold over 2000 times its own weight. Now I don't know how something that is 99.8 % air can hold 2000 times its own weight, but it does. It is one of the best insulators ever known to man, as illustrated by the photo of the hand and flame. Although it would be cost prohibitive, if you were to insulate a two story house with aerogel you would be able to heat it with a candle, except it would get too hot ! I'm here to tell you, this shit is WACK...or would it be SICK ? Whatever the fuck it is, it's cool. And, as an added bonus for the subscribers that actually know the Watermelon Man personally, he has recently purchased some aerogel so that we all may marvel at it.
