Thats rad as fuck
That's Awesome
Fucking amazing.
holy shit
how the fuck do you even do this
[QUOTE=aznz888;48727395]how the fuck do you even do this[/QUOTE] Literally watch the whole video.
It's not really a 1 trillion FPS camera though, as it has to repeat the procedure (laser pulse) many many times before it's captured the entire thing. The ony reason it works is because the laser pulse is extremely accurately timed, and easily repeatable. It takes the camera [B]an hour[/B] to film this nanosecond event. That's hardly fast, now is it :v: It's more like an approximation of how a 1 trillion fps camera [I]would[/I] be like. It can't do it with other non-repeatable processes. In fact, this camera can not capture even something as simple as the motion of an apple falling on to the ground.

More information can be found here though: [url]http://news.mit.edu/2011/trillion-fps-camera-1213[/url] [editline]o[/editline] This technique could possibly shed some light (no pun intended) on the double slit experiment.
[QUOTE=aznz888;48727395]how the fuck do you even do this[/QUOTE] The concept is that it they don't take the picture in real time, instead they send out the same pulse of light millions of times, and then slightly change the camera timing offset with the pulse, and the location they picture. Besides that its just a very powerful lightsource and a very sensitive camera. EDIT: Somebody beat me to it
I'm far more interesting in the light reflection to construct a scene.
[QUOTE=wraithcat;48727526]I'm far more interesting in the light reflection to construct a scene.[/QUOTE] Read up on echolocation, and your understanding of it will be pretty accurate.
[QUOTE=paul simon;48727420] This technique could possibly shed some light (no pun intended) on the double slit experiment.[/QUOTE] Bullshit. That was fully intended.
[QUOTE=paul simon;48727420] This technique could possibly shed some light (no pun intended) on the double slit experiment.[/QUOTE] The double slit experiment is well understood, it's just unintuitive. I don't see where you got this from.
I was expecting the vid we all saw years ago but this looks like a new one.
It's kinda cool to read about this stuff in science mags years before it reaches the mainstream.
[QUOTE=paul simon;48727420]This technique could possibly shed some light (no pun intended) on the double slit experiment.[/QUOTE] Holy shit i never even considered that
[QUOTE=Number-41;48727756]The double slit experiment is well understood, it's just unintuitive. I don't see where you got this from.[/QUOTE] I dunno, I figured it might be interesting to actually see it in motion.
