A camera that takes one trillion frames per second

Check this video out.

Might have military applications like making room clearing safer.

Very cool technology and physics.

I didn't get the last bit about events recorded by the camera being in reverse order to those in the real world scene. Was it some sort of temporal effect of recording at close to the speed of light?

Really? All that cutting edge physics, philosophy, ambition, exploration, research and hope and all you can come up with is "room clearing"?
You just saw light in slow motion.

No it's just the way light works with optics. They are seeing basically what I'm seeing here in this photo.

I'm pretty dam sure water doesn't fall "up"

[Elbs]

That's fantastic.

Don't mind him, he's Infantry...you know what I mean

So instead of thinking about the light' physics and space exploration possibilities they advertise tomoato-ripe-o-meter. Applied science in a nutshell.

A whole year to watch a movie with a bullet traveling the same distance. Mind boggling.......

Because for a lot of scientific research you need sponsors.. and those often want to earn some money in the end

I think he was referring to a strobe effect in this case. If you flash a strobe light at a spinning wheel and adjust the rate of flash of the strobe you will see the wheel spinning in one direction, then stop, then go the other direction as the speed of the strobe approaches, equals, then passes the speed of the wheel. Apparently the frame rate is fast enough to cause a similar effect. But he certainly did say that some relativistic effects were there due to the extreme speeds involved.

How do you mean?
NM, I missed that part of the video.

This IS a military minded forum.

This is amazing though.
