aluminum foil is going to be the worst insulater, paper is a good insulater but not the best, so the best is cotton.

Depending on your religious background, either God created aluminum or nothing/nobody did. It's naturally occurring and the most common metal in the earth's crust. Unfortunately, it's never found as the free metal as it reacts readily with other chemicals in the earth. It's most commonly found in the ore called bauxite. If you mean, "who coined the name aluminum as a pure form of the metal?", then Humphry Davy did this in 1808. By the way, I'm British, so I really do spell aluminum this way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------That above answer is incorrect the metal foil has been around for centuries. Foil is solid metal that has been reduced to a leaf-like thinness by beating or rolling. The first mass-produced and widely-used foil was made from tin. Tin was later replaced by aluminum in 1910, when the first aluminum foil rolling plant "Dr. Lauber, Neher & Cie., Emmishofen." was opened in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland.The plant, owned by J.G. Neher & Sons (aluminum manufacturers) started in 1886 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, at the foot of the Rhine Falls - capturing the falls' energy to produce aluminum. Neher's sons together with Dr. Lauber discovered the endless rolling process and the use of aluminum foil as a protective barrier. From there began the wide use of aluminum foil in the packaging of chocolate bars and tobacco products. Processes evolved over time to include the use of print, color, lacquer, laminate and the embossing of the aluminum.Reference: http://inventors.about.com/od/astartinventions/a/FamousInvention.htm
you use a strong material like wood and then put the tin foil over it, so it is waterproof because if you did not put a waterproof material on it would absorb the water and sink.

No, cotton is not a better insulator than aluminum foil and tissue paper. Aluminum foil is a good insulator as it reflects heat, while tissue paper acts as a thermal barrier. Cotton, on the other hand, is not as effective of an insulator because it does not have the same reflective or thermal barrier properties.
By burning.
Aluminum foil.
Independent: The heat Dependent: The result
aluminium foil because it has the qualities of metal and tin which are good heat conservers.
Both paper and aluminum foil are flexible materials, but aluminum foil is much more resistant to tears and punctures compared to paper. Aluminum foil is also a better barrier against moisture, light, and air compared to paper, making it suitable for different types of packaging.
Both paper and aluminum foil are flexible materials, but aluminum foil is typically stronger and more durable than paper. Paper is porous and can absorb liquids, whereas aluminum foil is impermeable and acts as a barrier to moisture and air. Additionally, aluminum foil is heat-resistant and can withstand high temperatures, while paper is more prone to burning.
Definitely Foil.
Aluminum foil is better at keeping things colder than waxed paper. This is because aluminum foil is a more effective insulator than waxed paper, as it reflects heat rather than allowing it to pass through.
If I had to choose the best insulator out of steel wool, aluminum foil, cotton and bubble wrap, I would choose the aluminum foil.
