Camera operating at a trillion fps capturing light photons in motion

Volumetric Propagation


Light travels at around a foot every nano second. The pepsi bottle is around a foot long and a laser pulse is fired through the bottle. The pulse itself is less then a millimeter long and is moving at around half a mm a frame, to give an idea of how many frames are running.



This video I believe is a computer program showing light illuminating a dark room with a tomato in it. Though it is a program, it has been set up to run an illumination program that runs at the speed of light.

I seen this on the news tonight amazing what the human race can do.

DAMMMM theres been a lot of science news comming out lately.....

I could not keep a boner will watching that video.

Hell my head almost hit my desk from falling asleep. Boring to say the least.

Saw this and was amazed..... especially curious to see if the higgs boson does really exist !! exciting news coming!!

[RaginCajun]

nice! who knows what we will be able to do in the next 10 years!

People that find this boring just strike me as those easily pleased by stuff like banal reality TV.

Right now, this has a "cool factor" but not much beyond a practical use beyond perhaps, creating some exceptionally amazing effects in games or films.

However, the experiment where the neutrinos were found to be going faster than light has been replicated with the same results. This could potentially mean we could "see" things travelling faster than light now.

Stuff like this really will begin to open up entirely new branches of science. Appologies to people that dont find that interesting. You can return to SpankWire now.

Not sure what your referencing to when you say those who find this boring can return to spankwire or banal reality TV. DOnt have a god damn clue what either are. I am mesmerized by the find but the video itself is just flat our fvcking boring to say the least. Atleast the person who made them could have atleast commented on what exactly was happening. For fvck sake it was like watching paint dry.

yes light travles at 670 616 629 mph but the true question is can we travel faster

[chuckfinley]

thats soo crazy! god scientists are amazing

that's yesterdays news.

I just picked up at wallymart a camera that takes 2trillion fps.... yeah! that's the ticket =)

lmfao, thats too funny. Did they build a Super Walmart in Kabul or a small one?

uh..... a deluxe mart with cheese?

and pickles. yeah, that's it. two to go. can i get that with extra mayo?
