Look: Purdue researchers create the world's whitest paint - UPI.com

Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Researchers at Purdue University earned a Guinness World Record with an unusual development: the world's whitest paint.

Xiulin Ruan, a professor of mechanical engineering at the West Lafayette, Ind., school, said the original aim of the project was to create a paint that would reflect sunlight from a building and thereby lower energy usage as a means of fighting climate change.

The paint, which incorporates barium sulphate particles, reflects 98.1% of solar radiation, making the painted surface noticeably cooler than surrounding surfaces, Ruan and his team found.

The process of making the paint reflective had a side-effect of making the paint extremely white, Ruan found. The barium sulphate was partially responsible for the color, and the usage of differing particle sizes in the paint caused it to reflect a greater spectrum of sunlight.

The paint was declared the world's whitest by Guinness World Records, which selected the record for inclusion in the 2022 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.

So does this paint say ope as it passes?

When visiting, does it slap its knees real hard and say “welp” as a signal it’s time to leave, but then as you’re trying to leave, it follows you for another conversation or two or four on the way to the door?

Does it yawn real loud and then yell “****?”

I don't know, but I wouldn't leave a glass of this paint next to a glass of milk. Might get 'em mixed up and drink the wrong one.

Of course.
You could even wear a hat when you drive.
And eat dinner at 4pm.

Just now & then though...until you're acclimated in a few decades.

I don’t want to sleep because there’s just so much stuff I still have to do tomorrow, I probably have to sacrifice the whole day :(

But sleep is so enticing… good night
