Aerogel is Amazing #shorts

It is an aerogel, the lightest solid in the world. It is made up of 99.8% air and 0.2% other materials such as silica, alcohol, and catalysts. Its porous structure with low density makes it lighter than air. Aerogels have very low thermal conductivity, making them very effective as thermal insulators. Aerogels can withstand very high temperatures, reaching 500-1000°C, depending on their composition.

It's not lighter than air! If it was lighter than air it would float!

If aerogel is lighter than air why isn’t it floating?
