The World's Fastest Camera Is Frankly Mind-Boggling

Scientists developed a new camera that can take a whopping 70 trillion frames per second.
One of the inventors calls the new process compressed ultrafast spectral photography, or CUSP.
The study appears in the April 29 edition of Nature Communications.

I could probably never convince my wife I need one of these. 
I do feel a gas attack though!

So how long would it take to process 70-Trillion images in Lightroom..? I suspect that I would need a faster computer.

If I had one of those, and printed a 1 second picture someone would ask if I counted the frames.

Of course, the image with perfect composition and exposure would be at 2,976,482!

No one could live long enough to review even one second's exposures!

I'll give you an example. If you processed 1 million photographs at a rate of 1,000 images a day, 7 days a week,52 weeks a year it would take you approximately 3 years and 9 months to process them. Raise the processing rate to 1 million photos a day and 1 trillion photos could be processed in about 3,750 years. So, for 70 trillion photos, it would take approximately 262,500 years. That's a project I do not think I'd want to even consider.

My crude calculation says at one image per second (processing or viewing) a one second exposure would take over two million YEARS! What would we evolved into by then??
I am very content at age 79 with my Pentax and some new and some 50 year old lenses.
