    'Super Black is new Black'
    Scientists have develpoed a new black- its darker than normal back. Its the darkest Material made on earth and is made from nickel and phosphorous. this back refelcs 20x more light than the old back and it set to make optical eye care safter but at a price. The breakthrough came in Middlesex.

    Erm, I do believe it reflects 20x less light, not more. If it reflected more light it wouldn't be darker

    Actually, by <i>reflecting more</i> light, that means the object would be <i>absorbing less</i> light. Less light absorbtion means it'd be darker.

    One very cool fact that a good friend of mine told me a few months ago is that any object is every color except what we perceive it to be. For example, a 'green' leaf on a tree is every color <i>except</i> green. Therefore, the leaf will absorb every color except green, which is reflected and therefore visible to us.

    NO YOUR WRONG! the more light you absorb the darker. Look at something very light in bright sunlight dosent it reflect alot of light? Take something black and put it in the bright sun it wont reflect alot of light and is easy to look at. Also wait for a while the black object will become hot because of the light energy it has absorbed. Black is the abcent of light if something reflects light then it wont be truly black.

    white light is all colors in one, prims break normal light- making the disco effect
    all objects are colorless, some objects just absorbs certain colors from the light that hits it, making them <i>seem</i> that they are ex. green.

    You're exactly right.

    Think of it this way: Place a projector on the ceiling of a plane. Place the green material on the floor of the plane. Place a camera outside the plane, on the bottom. Now, you have a 'transparent' floor.

    At least, that's what I gather this experiment is dealing with.
