It looks like there are a few things in that photo that are traveling faster than the speed of light. The ground is illuminated although the ball of light has yet to expand far enough to reach it. Can radiant heat energy travel faster than light? |

Really stills put together to make a "film" Here is a good vid, I remember watching this in full when I was 3 or 4 years old. These were big events for Vegas. people used to go watch the bombs go off, it was a tourist attraction at the time. My grandparents who were deathly afraid of radiation, so much so they did not drive past radio stations or even own a microwave went and watched one of the events.

Wherever you go,there you are. John Doe: Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1266452 Imagine how much better they have. At 1 trillion FPS, this explosion would take months to watch. LOL, I just had thought of the same idea, as the femto photography is what we have now, at least that they would let us know. Cool stuff. All great truths begin as Blasphemies. G.B.S.

ISLANDIA User ID: 1483387 United States 11/13/2012 01:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Age of Innocence Photograph from U.S. Air Force Shielded only by dark goggles, guests of the U.S. military settle back in 1951 to witness a nuclear blast on the Enewetak Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. The test was part of Operation Greenhouse, whose blasts resulted in signficant downwind fallout, posing health risks to spectators and test personnel. Exposure to radioactive fallout from nuclear tests in the United States alone may have killed an estimated 11,000 persons from cancer, according to a U.S. government study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study reported that "any person living in the continguous United States since 1951 has been exposed to radioactive fallout." This a Night Time photo taken of the shot of Project Greenhouse. My Father in Law is seated up front second from the end. This image has appeared in numerious places and appeared in National Georphics 60 years of the bomb. Walter Keller went on to produce 12 children. He was from Back woods Arkansaw and taught himself math. Later in Life he would be most notable known for having invented the Heart Pacemaker. |

Chrit User ID: 27088294 United States 11/13/2012 02:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So people know how they did this, they set up drum with film in a 360 degree pattern around the inside of the drum. A mirror is then placed on a motor in the center of this drum at a 45 degree angle, the mirror is spun, then the shutter above the mirror opens and the mirror is allowed to make one single revolution exposing the film plates on the inside of the drum. Then the machine breaks the mirror it so it does not double expose any of the film plates. Camera is only limited by the size of the drum and the amount of film plates placed in the drum. Capable of 20 Thousand frames a second they could only acutely get a few hundred picture frames per shot because the camera was limited by film size and resetting the camera took a VERY long time. Weeks even. Very simple design Last Edited by Chrit on 11/13/2012 05:19 PM I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw.
