Aerogel, also know as frozen smoke, is the world’s lowest density solid, clocking in at 96% air. If you hold a small piece in your hand, it’s practically impossible to either see or feel, but if you poke it, it’s like styrofoam. It supports up to 4,000 times its own weight and can withstand a direct blast from two pounds of dynamite. It’s also the best insulator in existence.

Chemistry at its finest

can i eat that

Why don’t we use this for everything?!?

This shit is about the coolest thing ever. 

It’s such a great insulator that a thin layer of it will protect anything from the heat of a bunsen burner.

Even though it’s incredibly light and has an extremely low density, its lattice-like molecular structure makes it able to hold objects much greater in mass.

What if you got loads of it, and made a bed, you could pretend you were a pegasus

Possibly one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

Again, because science boner.

But if it’s FROZEN smoke, then why doesn’t the bunsen burner melt the frozen-ness, and the smoke just wisps away? 

Also, I’m confused about how making a bed out of Aerogel would lead to pretending to be a pegasus…. I would pretend I was sleeping on a cloud!

seriously, i wanna know how many people don’t smoke.

never have

Never even tried.

Never, ever going near them. I love my lungs thank-you.

my asthma….*coughie*

I tried one of those electric cigarettes from my brother and holy fuck it tasted like really old and nasty tea. If that’s how the fake ones taste I never wanna know what the real ones taste like. DX

Smoking is the single most repulsive normal habit someone can have, apart from treating others horribly (including physical/sexual/mental harm). Obviously extreme things that involve like, I dunno, feces or something, are more repulsive. But in the realm of normal bad habits, smoking is by far the most repulsive for me. I literally do not want to be anywhere near people who are smoking, and/or just smoked, and/or smell like cigarette/cigar smoke.
