One Trillion Frames Per Second - Watching Light Itself In Slow Motion | |
Dr. Astro Senior Forum Moderator  User ID: 21217730  United States09/18/2012 11:06 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not only can you watch light in slow motion, not only can you see relativistic effects in the ripples of the light, but you can even apply this technology to scan objects in three dimensions from around a corner with no direct line of sight!

| Chrit User ID: 15366081 United States09/18/2012 11:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you for posting this! Your light Video brings up one of the biggest questions I have ever wondered. What happens when we observe everything, it will eventually happen. Double slit theory fully recordable on a grand scale and measured? You brought up one of the things I have tried to wrap my mind around forever.

The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

I can tweak anything to make it look cool or what it's suppose look like. if could demonstrate a real time camera where there is actually some algorithm that can come out with accurate pictures, then i'll be impressed. until then its just some graphic arts dude tweaking the data until it looks cool. |

Fundamentally it's no different than modern astrophotography; it's all about adding multiple frames of the same thing together to increase the signal to noise ratio and reconstruct what is really there. That doesn't mean it's fake or mere graphics art, I think that's a tad uncharitable. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 23558099 United States09/19/2012 09:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Not really... It is not a 1,000,000,000,000 frame per second camera!!!! It's a clever algorithm of exposures done over and over and over with the light comming on and off over and over and over. After compiling the exposures they make what seems like a trillion frame per second exposure. It is ground breaking - to a degree. We can't implement this except in a very very controlled environment so good luck trying to observe other facets of light in the universe with this. |

Laser satellites to broadcast wide spectrum lasers at the oceans surface to image submarines. There will be no place to hide for a sub once this is weaponized. This is truly star wars technology. |
