That's incredible.
Well holy shit
Holy fucking shit. We can't even see more than 60fps IIRC. Yes children. This camera is [I]better than the human eye.[/I]
If anything, it needs to film [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V2eCFsDkK0]this[/url]
[QUOTE=Drsalvador;33705018]Yes children.

Film someone getting slapped across the face Watch the horror for 30 minutes of a horribly distorted face getting slowly slapped by a flappy hand.
Holy shit, you can actually see the light waves?

And I'm probably undershooting.

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;33705335]Their technique doesn't really allow it to capture motion, It's the post processing that makes it possible to see the light propagation in "motion"[/QUOTE] Besides, you don't need something THAT fast to capture a process that slow. (Relative to photons)

Well he won that bet it seems.

Holy shit god damn. Thank you for posting this, this is probably the coolest thing I've seen all year. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDwQ0hnx-OE&feature=channel_video_title[/media] The first scene here is fucking fascinating because of the mirror, and the scene starting at 2:05 was mindblowing as well.
I bet this will make physics class 10x more interesting for kids in the future
