Absolutely wild. I watched that video from start to end.

Agreed. It's another great barrier broken.

Fascinating accomplishment.

But not worth letting Java out of the basement.

Can I interest you in a bridge and your own personal island?
Mwuhahahahahahaha
Baa baa baa baa baaa.

Didn't anyone read and THINK about the caption?

"Ramesh Raskar and his team at MIT have invented a camera that can
photograph light itself in slow motion."

Or do you all claim to have received no physics education.

Speed of light? or was it "Oh shinies"



From the link..................
Light in Motion: Combination of modern imaging hardware and a
reconstruction technique to visualize light propagation via repeated
periodic sampling.

Ripples of Waves: A time-lapse visualization of the spherical fronts of
advancing light reflected by surfaces in the scene.
.......................................

Read the description below and learn. As far as I can see, it is almost
fucking useless(except defence research grant?) because there is so much
"constructed imagery in it. It takes "several minutes" to construct
roughly a nano second (1,000 pico seconds) of video.


Jee Sus Christ; it had MAJOR VIOLATION of the laws of known physics
written all over it and you fell for it hook line and sinker. Next
you'll be telling us that the Terminator is real technology.

Back in the days of film, the Pentagon had super fast cameras to try and
capture those first few nanoseconds after a thermonuclear warhead was
set off, usually on top of a tower. (The thermonuclear "device," that
is, not the camera.) Thanks for sharing the link. That part about
seeing around corners is right out of science fiction.

I had wondered myself how they got those pictures.

<http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_uranium06.htm>

The interesting thing is that the camera which was made to do that
is a Hugh monster - uses a spinning mirror and dozens of cameras to
capture the images. It went surplus, and was bought by a lightening
researcher/hunter. He replaced the film cameras with digital ones,
and mounted it in a trailer. However, it is sort of "point and shoot"
as in "point the side of the trailer in a direction, start the camera,
and hope something is there when you 'shoot'". Because it is still
ten minutes to spin up the mirror, and then twenty minutes to download
all the images to prepare for the next shot.
But he's doing some rework - hoping to put a periscope on it,
which can be swiveled and aimed. And seeing about faster downloads
from the cameras to storage.

This was written up in a "recent" National Geographic, which I
read at the library.

Most journalists these days couldn't investigate a missing chocolate cake
at a pre-school without a Democrat office holder telling them what to look for,
where, and why it is Geroge Bush's fault.
