  • This was meant to be an entertaining way of explaining Aerogel and so I made some imperfect comparisons in the process. For more details, see aerogel.org.
    Also, full disclosure, I thought I independently came up with the Lays joke, but then I saw it was commented on a bunch of other aerogel videos, so I'm no longer sure if I just subconsciously remembered it from back in the day when I watched those.

    If I recall correctly, Aerogel is blue for the same reason the sky is blue, because it scatters light and blue light is the most scattered. So, when you point it at the sky, you’re combining it with the sky itself and thus creating a “thicker layer of sky”, which makes it scatter yellow light too, and that’s the same thing that happens in sunsets!!
    Great video btw, I’m loving your channel!!!
