New camera takes 1 trillion frames per second.

from WinCustomize Forums

It takes a lot to impress me, really, a lot.
But during this video my jaw just kept dropping and dropping.

A camera recoding a 1 trillion frames per second. It is literally able to record light as it moves along - at the speed of, well... light. ;)

Have a look here: Femto Camera at WIMP

Just imagine what kind of wonderous images this camera could record if implemented into the HLC at CERN....

Not according to the presenter. ;)
And yes, it is quite mindblowing how far technology has progressed just the past few years.

Ps: Credit for finding this goes to Xiandi and sharing it on Facebook.

Interestingly, I was just reading about the timing in Olympic events. Using high speed digital imaging combined with computer processing, the accuracy of timing finishes has gone to the millionth of a second... crazy.

Femtophotography was first described in 2010... and I read about it last year and saw the tomato video then and was stunned.

It's absolutely amazing to actually see in our limited time frame, with our limited senses, the effects Einstein predicted with his mathematics.

All this and I still can't take a decent picture. :(

To actually see a photon in motion.....wowser!

I'm wondering if astronomers could use this somehow too. It seems to have a lot of possibilities.

Same thing I was thinking. More accurately determine wobble, red shift and a whole bunch of other things.
