facts-i-made-up aside, how much of a difference would vanta black actually have on a pools appearance? i figure after a certain point the waters own reflectivity more than makes up the difference
I think we have to try it. And by ‘we’ I mean somebody who is not as flat broke as I am.
I’ll start the gofundme on the condition that we use Black 2.0 instead of vantablack because I refuse to put money in Anish Kapoor’s hands
I mean I literally just woke up but it got me until the zombie drug and even that I wanted to look up.
I was fully ready to believe that a vantablack pool would boil in direct sunlight. Not flash boil, but I excused that as the author being a bit enthusiastic.
Wasn’t till the nuke that I was acting ready to call bullshit. The chlorine gas thing felt wrong, but I don’t know enough about chemistry to be confident that flash boiling chlorinated water wouldn’t produce chlorine gas at possibly lethal levels.
Here’s my question… does the thermal mass of the water mean nothing in this instance? Or does that merely dictate how quickly and violently it boils away?
I was like, “Waitaminute, how come terrorists haven’t caught on to this thing yet if it’s so deadly and why isn’t it already illegal?”
