There's even product placement in science now?

and that's how retarded I thought they were, 10 billion x slow.

If these are ligit numbers, this is fucking amazing.

Every time I see 'fps' I think 'faps' and think it's some twisted sort of measurement

I'm seriously doubting the integrity of this demonstration purely base on the fact the it's conducted in a cola bottle. sorryz

this is the exact opposite of 30 speed

Pretty sure by the time the light hit the camera, the original light had left the bottle.

how is this in any way boring?

Not boring at all

Been a while since I had seen this. Did a little presentation on it in my tech school.

8yBoring? Slowing light down to where we can see it moving is boring? What kind of monsters are you people?!?

The tech is cool, the talk was boring.

and they did it witha coke bottle? im skeptical

I feel stupid for asking this but is it even possible to record faster than the speed of light

Multiple images from different cameras can be stitched together, which is what was done here.

lasers by definition are not white

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. I don't see anything about color... but I believe you.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

The emission will be a single wavelength I.E. one color not broad spectrum like white light..

Makes sense.

Actually it's thousands of pulses of light, repeated over and over, and the camera catches one line of pixels per trial.

I find it weird that they get this state of the art camera and they filmed a coke bottle full of water.

A tiny bit of me thinks this is fake..mainly because I see this on imgur and im too lazy to look this up on the web

It's real, but it isn't 1 camera. It is a large array. Searcy femtophotography to learn more.

Technicly it took tons of pictures of different light pulses and stiches them together

Technically, that's the basis of film

Except for, you know modern digital compressed formats but let's just brush over that

Booooring. It's much more fun to believe that they made a camera with a shutter speed faster than the speed of light.

Your like someone that points out when someone misspels a word. We all no what OP meaned.

I hope those downvotes are part of the sarcasm otherwise you fellas/gals need to learn about dry humor.

He says in the video "No, we are not sponsored by Coca Cola."

Forgive me but 10 billion is not a trillion, is it?

9 years ago | Likes 27 Dislikes 2

1000 billions in a trillion. 1000 millions in a billion etc.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

It is when it's multiplied by "slow".

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Trillion fps. 10 billion times slower than normal speed.

9 years ago | Likes 23 Dislikes 2

Ah, duh. Thanks for clearing that up!

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Only if normal speed is 100fps. Conventional standard framerates are 24, 25, 30, 48, 50 and 60.

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

I meant "real-time" when I said normal speed, I couldn't think of the term at the time in the middle of work.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

My first thought. Who the fuck is calling 100fps "standard"
