In Search of the Blackest Thing on Earth

Thank you for completing the PBSDS Annual Survey and helping us shape our future here on YouTube and beyond! ► http://to.pbs.org/2022Survey ↓↓↓ More info and sources below ↓↓↓ There are some startlingly black animals out there, whether they’re in the deep ocean or in the darkest corners of the rainforest. But humans have created some stunningly black substances too, using science and engineering. So who wins, nature or humans? In this video, I go in search of the blackest black things on Earth to see what’s really the blackest… and why.
