I want one of these! It'll be a while before one of these shows up in a commercially available camera, but wouldn't it be fun! And I'm guessing it'll take a major computer upgrade...

Fasinating, just fasinating. Thanks for posting.

Who would have thought this even possible a few years ago?
I'm still very impressed by cameras taking 10,000 frames per second. Maybe now I can afford one of those?

How long does it take to post-process 10,000 frames?

I'd imagine in 1/billionth of the time it takes to post process a trillion frames per second as discussed in the video link! :-D

Unlike watching a bullet going through an apple, watching light traveling through a bottle was hard to relate to. It's a whole new world!

Photography = drawing with light. What will we do with only one photon of light. Amazing. Now not will I only have to convince my wife I need a new camera, but a new computer and probably a new power source to the house as well :lol:

It's almost impossible to comprehend!!! :roll:
Thanks for sharing. That's true "rocket science" :lol: :thumbup:

There is some very good reading in Stephen Hawkings book The Grand Design on how light travels and this video makes it alot easier to figure out if you can see how light travels.
Thanks for posting that, it was very well done, very informative. Just goes to show that your new $5000 camera is tomorrows door stop.

LOL! Swede. "tomorrows door stop" is dead on. :lol: :roll: :thumbup:

There's a wee bit of explanation at:

http://web.media.mit.edu/~raskar/trillionfps/

There are probably fuller explanations elsewhere. Sounds like they take LOTS of very tiny images and merge them together in a computer. It reminds me a bit of how they explained some of the old images and their interpretation of particle emissions in vapor chambers. Shoot beams of accelerated particles into a target and catch the flashes of energy emitted when something got hit, then interpret like crazy.

And another, which kind of confirms it:

That's amazing. Just a thought, could it be possible to photograph the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination, and SEE THE BULLETS, and then know where they all came from, for sure.?

That is so cool! I am actually quite the opposite. It took me 6 1/2 years to replace a bedroom door. Try filming that!
