Light - slowed down.

This is insane, they have a camera that can take trillion frames per second.
They shoot a laserbeam through a bottle and you can see that little beam in slow motion, just incredible.

Why would anyone remove that vid - dang !

[bhall]

I had the exact same thought. So, I looked around.

I think that pretty much sums up why we are where we are as a country - we dare ask, but not bother look

It's very interesting what happens when the photons reach the bottle cap isn't it ?

On a side note, for a second there I tought that it was a coca cola viral lol

Sorry guys i did not expect them to remove the video, i posted it before i had watched the whole video,
Anyway the one above was cut short, probably due to the rendering having just stopped.
See you found the full version,


It´s incredible to see how long the light survives after most of it´s gone. It moves and reacts so much more different then what i expected. Almost like water.

here it is, should work and it looks like it´s the full version,

I saw this only last week. Incredible stuff.

The FPS count is such a big number, and we all know us humans struggle to comprehend such large numbers... so how about this... If they recorded 1 second of footage with that camera and played it back at 'normal' speed. It would take 1300years to watch it

Now something even more amazing!!

The newspapers are filled with celebrities new hair cuts, and not this. Amazing, that is something that science really can't explain.
