There is actually paint made by MIT that absorbs 99.9999 percent of light! While I was reading about it. They stated it wasn't even the blackest black ever recorded, but infuriatingly said absolutely nothing else, and continued to talk about MITs paint. Jack asses.

I'm wondering if the 99.9% black applied on the sides of a lens or the inner side sections of a camera, would improve a photographic image being projected on a sensor? How would it act with all the anti reflection? LOOK AND LIKE
If possible can you try an experiment that I came up with. The things you need are an empty room, a light source and you inside the room. What I have in mind is that , when the light source is turned on you are able to see the walls of the room because they reflect light from the light source. But what if we make the surface of the walls so imperfect that in whatever direction light may hit the wall it does not get reflected to atleast a single point in the room. Which means if you observe the room from that point, even if there is a light source in that room, you would not be able to see anything like the wall and the ceiling in the room.

How come the laser didn't ignite the area around the blacks when he was going across them? At full power, that would easily ignite a lot of surfaces. I've watched loads of styropyro, so I have a somewhat good idea of what those can do. Did you have it on a low power setting? Or was the material safer for that laser to go across?

If absorbing 100% of light is the darkest of things in the universe, the lack of anything (space) is technically the brightest as it cannot absorb light, therefore reflecting/not absorbing 100% of light.
