I am not even sure this is not a hoax, as it looks so weird online. But apparently, some folks have invented a substance that reflects ZERO light, and thus just appears to the eye as a total black void right in front of your face.
Super creepy

“World’s Blackest Black” Absorbs So Much Light It Makes 3D Objects Look Flat
Back in 2014, a U.K. nanotech company called Surrey NanoSystems created what is known today as Vantablack, or the “world’s blackest black”.
According to Wikipedia, “Vantablack is composed of a forest of vertical tubes which are “grown” on a substrate using a modified chemical vapor deposition process. When light hits Vantablack, instead of bouncing off, it becomes trapped and is continually deflected among the tubes, eventually becoming absorbed and dissipating into heat.”
Vantablack is so incredibly non-reflective, that it absorbs 99.96 percent of the light that hits it.
However, just recently the company announced Vantablack 2.0, which promises to be even blacker than the “blackest black.” What’s even more incredible, during testing, Surrey NanoSystems’ spectrometers couldn’t even detect it.
And when added to any object the results are pretty insane.
