This guy is holding a sphere, note not a disc a sphere, painted with vantablack, the darkest pigment ever created. Spoiler: Lord Lucan will not like this picture.

Another application.

Yeah I've seen the application before, there is a few videos online of people shining torches on it and it just acts as some kind of black hole. Very cool, I really wish there was an opportunity to see it in the flesh (and I guess that would apply to Dory's as well, wa-hey)

It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none, none more black.

Blacker even than the All Blacks 'blackest ever' shirts?

The pigment is so black that it makes 3D objects look like a 2 dimensional shape.

I don't know, the fitty in the dress looks pretty 3D to me.

You've been looking at the bits not covered by the dress which ruins the illusion somewhat

It's not really black. It's very,very,very,very, very dark blue.

It's an impressive invention tbh.

I wonder if the CIA will use this stuff to paint the walls, floor and ceiling of a room used to interrogate people?
