A point to note:they are comparing the strength per mass unit of an ultralight material to kevlar and steel which only partially makes sense
Sachingare
Assuming it was less resistant to impact than steel, the low density makes the value artificially larger since it's calculated per mass
Sachingare
When we're assuming something like: 1000x less density = 1000x more resistance, in comparison to other materials

What about macro particle impacts? Like, you know, bullets?
LetsNotDoThat
Sadly, we can use it to make backpacks…

Would you count a fist flying at your face as a macro particle impact? I'm just trying to figure out some margins /reference frames
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
I thought I provided a reference when I mentioned a bullet.
druu
Just wanted to know where it ends :)
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
It ends with multi-gigaton thermonuclear warheads. Feel better now?
