such as recently I've been working really
2:42
hard to say but water. Saving

little typo floating in. A
3:10
What do you mean I didn't rescue the water?

the pipes and not walls and I put it
3:17
in these buckets. And se det. Ah
3:21
ow ow ow ow ow saving.

watered means using less water. Meaning,

Buddhist. Able

13:07
white some and no thanks many.
13:11
Years exhibition was on some new
13:13
paint invented by a team. That's
13:17
right, Been the. Kids
13:20
went to invent a new kind of. Well
13:24
there are a whole bunch
13:27
of reasons, but most of
13:29
the time scientists and then
13:31
pain to either reflect or
13:33
absorb light sort. Of like the
13:35
highlight of last year's gallo that's a
13:37
black. Man. Is.
13:40
The name of the new super villain in the latest.
13:42
Written and are moving Know
13:45
Mindy, it's not a supervillain.
13:47
It's a type of material
13:49
coding. Oh, Anna Nicole serial
13:51
coding is Elaine right? That's
13:53
right. And it's used to
13:56
cover the surface of an
13:58
object. And this coding. Learn
14:00
to Black Jack Vance A black.
14:02
Is used to help objects
14:04
absorb light. In fact, this
14:07
coding is able to absorb ninety
14:09
nine Point Nine six of all
14:11
the like that touches it. Coding
14:14
sounds like a like eating. Supervillain? Yeah,
14:17
especially. I am pretty sure
14:19
that exhibition over there in
14:22
the corner is covered in
14:24
that the black oh what's
14:27
that exhibition? Over there and that, a saddle.
14:31
Well it looks like it and.
14:33
Would make sense because in
14:36
two thousand and fifteen the
14:38
European Space Agency says a
14:40
micro satellite have worked. Move
14:44
from. One.
14:46
Of those satellites, it's smaller
14:48
than a mini fridge, right?
14:50
exactly? And on the Michael
14:52
satellite the European Space Agency
14:54
sent up the scientists cold
14:56
it the area own the
14:58
telescope's lens. He invents a
15:00
blood to stop light from
15:03
bouncing off the metal surface
15:05
and distorting the images that
15:07
telescope was taking. A
15:11
baby food us.
15:14
And the micro satellites to help
15:16
absorb all a be upset like
15:18
that might mess up the pictures
15:20
that it with taking a batter
15:22
said exactly look as get warm
15:24
now what it What do you
15:26
mean many most of the time
15:28
things like rockets and space shuttles
15:30
and satellites are painted white because
15:32
it was so like light and
15:34
heat off the machine and back
15:37
out into space. But
15:39
if this. Super dark black
15:42
coding absorbs almost all of the
15:44
light. That such as. Well.
15:47
It would get rich already. click.
15:50
the guess you're right mindy am i
15:53
guess that's why the scientists who sent
15:55
up the satellite only coded the area
15:57
around the telescope's lens in there to
16:00
black and not the whole thing. Oh,
16:03
so they could make sure that it wouldn't
16:05
overheat. Exactly. Well, speaking
16:07
of overheating, this boo-boo beanie
16:09
bopper coat of mine is
16:12
really starting to seal in my juices, if
16:14
you know what I mean. Ugh.
16:17
Here, help me take it off. Okay.
16:21
Okay, just hold this
16:23
lead here. Okay.
16:25
And let me just... Okay.
16:29
Okay. Okay.
16:33
Okay. Okay.
16:35
What? What?
16:39
Oh no. Okay.
16:43
Okay. Okay.
16:47
There we go. What in
16:49
the... What?
16:53
What's on your T-shirt, Mindy? Thanks
16:56
for noticing. My T-shirt says, help, I'm
16:58
having an art attack. You get it?
17:00
Because we're on an art... I'm
17:05
going to hang my boo-boo beanie bopper
17:08
coat. Um... Oh,
17:11
look, a coat rack. Uh,
17:14
Mindy, I think that's an art
17:16
installation. Oh, sure it is, Guy
17:18
Roz. And that blank white canvas over
17:21
there must be modern art. I'm
17:23
just going to hang this up right here.
17:26
Let's go. You
17:28
don't go anywhere, coat. Oh,

18:53
thank me later. Able
18:55
to reflect 95.5% of all sunlight that touches
18:58
it, this
19:01
paint, made from acrylic, will
19:04
be a revolution in how we keep
19:06
buildings cool. Now
19:08
and into the future.
19:11
Ooooh! Wow,
19:14
that is incredible, Mindy. You're
19:16
telling me, I'm gonna get a closer look.
19:19
Ahh, you're gonna have to guide the
19:21
way. Brrr! Alright, let me just
19:23
make my way through this gaggle of
19:26
art, and make sure... Um,
19:28
I can't see anything, I'm coming through.
19:31
Watch your back! Brrr!
19:33
Sorry, sorry, I'm gonna... Thank
19:36

19:38
sorry. Here
19:40
we are, Guy Roz. Lift your
19:43
blackout sunglasses and take a peek.
19:45
Alright, let's see here. Brrr!
19:48
Brrr! Are you sure
19:50
this is it, Mindy? It just looks
19:53
like a blank canvas to me. Ooh,
19:56
but it's actually a
19:58
canvas That has been... Brand.
20:01
New ultra wide, Must
20:04
have a look at or description here. There
20:08
are more than five hundred
20:11
saves of white currently circulating
20:13
in the world. Ah, why
20:16
eggshell white caress? Why. Said
20:18
why through the part where they talk about
20:20
the science Mindy. Mother
20:23
never carry guns at
20:25
This was created by
20:27
soon of ruin a
20:29
medical engineer from Purdue
20:31
University. This is
20:34
an original room. And looks like
20:36
it. It says here that the
20:38
Poop with tested over two days
20:41
I painting and entire buildings in
20:43
this super white and what did
20:45
they find out what sets you
20:48
die rise during the hottest part
20:50
of the day the surface covered
20:52
in this paint with cooler than
20:55
the surrounding air by assholes. Three
20:57
point zero, six degrees Thera or
20:59
one point seven degrees Celsius. What?
21:02
now? And that's not all their
21:04
eyes. It also says that at
21:06
night the surface. Covered. In it's
21:08
reflective white with a whole. Fahrenheit
21:13
or. Ten degrees celsius, cooler
21:15
than the. Surrounding air that's
21:17
incredible Monday but didn't
21:20
see. Or maybe with you say that
21:22
this Pete was going to. Help fight
21:24
climate change. Well think about it
21:26
for a second. A building covered
21:28
in this paid would reflect more
21:30
like him light off and create
21:33
see Which means that the building
21:35
would also reflects more seat and
21:37
with all of that being kicked
21:40
off of the building in the
21:42
side of the building would be
21:44
cooler exactly and which in turn
21:47
would reduce the amount of air
21:49
conditioning you would need to cool
21:51
the building. I guess I
21:53
can see why all of these are
21:55
aficionados are so excited about. this new
21:57
pope Hey,
22:00
what's going on over there? Uh,
22:03
I don't know. It
22:06
looks like everyone's crowding around some sort
22:08
of new art installation, Mindy. You
22:10
want to go check it out? You might.
22:13
What? What? What? What?
22:15
Oh, this really is
22:17
an incredible piece. I
22:19
completely agree. The irony. The parody.
22:21
Oh, yeah. And not to mention
22:24
the expression of class struggle in
22:26
an age of social upheaval. Yeah,
22:28
no, I was about to say that. Ah!
22:31
Ah! Anything, Gyroz? How about
22:33
you? Nothing, Mindy.
22:35
There's too many people. Ah! Oh, you
22:37
did. Oh, no. Sorry,
22:42
sorry. Please, do you. What
22:45

22:48

22:50
my friend over there. Mindy,
22:55

22:57
baby bopper, Koobgyron. These people think
23:00

23:04
Reggie? Hey,
23:06
Gyroz. Where'd Reggie go? Uh... Brrr!
23:10

23:21
introduce you to Reginald. One
23:24
of Bob's talented fjords. Ah!
23:28

23:32
an un-cheduleed surprise installation,
23:34
I will say, my
23:36
