What is the earth's lightest solid material?

Aerogel
 Aerogels are the world's lightest solid materials, composed of up to 99.98% air by volume. Despite the name, aerogels are solid, rigid, and dry materials that do not resemble a gel in their physical properties: the name comes from the fact that they are made from gels. Pressing softly on an aerogel typically does not leave even a minor mark; pressing more firmly will leave a permanent depression. Pressing extremely firmly will cause a catastrophic breakdown in the sparse structure, causing it to shatter like glass (a property known as friability), although more modern variations do not suffer from this. Despite the fact that it is prone to shattering, it is very strong structurally. Its impressive load bearing abilities are due to the dendritic microstructure, in which spherical particles of average size (2–5 nm) are fused together into clusters. These clusters form a three-dimensional highly porous structure of almost fractal chains, with pores just under 100 nm. The average size and density of the pores can be controlled during the manufacturing process.

Mathematics Problem

A census-taker  knocks  on  a  door,  and  asks  the  woman  inside  how many  children  she  has  and  how  old  they  are. "I  have  three  daughters,  their  ages  are  whole  numbers,  and  the  product  of  the  ages is  36,"  says  the  mother.  "That's  not  enough  information,"  responds  the  census-taker. "I'd  tell  you  the  sum  of  their  ages,  but  you'd  still  be  stumped."  "I  wish  you'd  tell  me  something  more." "Okay,  my  oldest  daughter  Annie  likes  dogs."  What  are  the  ages  of  the  three  daughters? Comment down your answer below.

Which is brightest metal?

I’ll give you the short, and mildly incorrect, answer first: Silver is the brightest metal. Silver has been revered for thousands of years for its brightness. It is used to make the finest mirrors, though it must be covered with glass because it tarnishes quickly in the presence of oxygen. For a slightly longer answer… By “brightest,” you’re likely asking which metal reflects the most visible light. This is measured scientifically through a property called  Reflectance . Reflectance measures the effectiveness of a material of reflecting radiant energy. As you might know, radiant energy exists on a broad spectrum, only a tiiiiiiiiny portion of which is visible. This area, between about 390 nanometers and 700–750 nm, is known as the  visible spectrum . I bring this up because the Reflectance of a material depends upon the wavelength of the energy it’s reflecting. By looking at this chart on the Reflenctance of Gold (Au), Silver (Ag) and Aluminum (Al), you...
