the very very very very very very very very very very very best is flesh
The best insulator on the planet (known so far) is Aerogel.
Also called solid smoke, it is the lightest solid on Earth. It has
a fairly high compressive strength, but it is also very brittle. It
is about $40 for a solid piece the size of a quarter (random
fragments can be cheaper), so it's really only for small
experiments (unless you're operating on NASA's
budget). Although, there is some development with Aerogel
particles being used in blankets for more practical
applications.
I don't know
what I'm
talking about.
aluminum foil works quite nicely when it comes to storing heat. the
reason for this isbecuase
it reflects heat and light energy through means of
radiation.
The best insulator is newspaper because it insulated the lemonade
in my experiment the best out of newspaper,water,or
pink hose insulation .
