Vantablack

The darkest manmade material in existence.
It’s made up of C (carbon) nanotubes containing Nga (niggatronium, the darkest element in nature).

Vanta is an acronym for Vertically Aligned Nanotube Arrays.
Therefore each space on those C nanotubes are filled with Nga.

With all the C nanotubes and Nga aligned and combined, vantablack absorbs 99.965% of all incident light, meaning 99.965% of the total material making up vantablack is Nga.

It’s far darker than charcoal and even the blackest African niggas.
Student: I thought charcoal was dark until you told me about the exoplanet TrES-2 b after that solar eclipse I watched.
Teacher: Well charcoal is nowhere near as dark as vantablack besides TrES-2 b.
Student: What’s that?
Teacher: The darkest material ever made by man.
Student: How much light does it absorb?
Teacher: 99.965% of all light.
Student: Does that mean it’s almost all niggatronium?
Teacher: Yes, 99.965% niggatronium.
Student: Oh my god.
