RE: Why the soldier's black boot shines and the blackest synthetic material on earth
Science is always based in factual evidences and proofs.
This is a lovely concept. It has never occurred to me why their shoes shine so well even though it is made of black.
Blacks from my understanding absorbs light incidented on them this makes them a better absorbers of heat than silver white which reflects incident light.
We learn everyday, thanks for this wonderful expository.
Nice one sir✌@greenrun
I just used military shoes due to the extra effort to put in shining their shoes to illustrate this effect. The effect is something you can replicate in other black shoes if it meets the same criteria. It is true that dark colours absorb more light and heat, the reason it is never advisable to wear dark colours on a hot sunny day.
