  • I don't really understand how this works. To see the "ball" of light moving, doesn't that light have to travel into the bottle, and then be scattered, and travel all the way to the camera? Since the camera is farther away than the length of the bottle, how does this work?

  • @TheAlebandro by the time the light hits the camera, the pulse will have moved on through the bottle, but this won't affect the image the camera sees, it just means the camera is recording it a fraction of a second after it happened.

  • @TheAlebandro

    It's a very short laser beam. When you 'see' the beam of light you are seeing the light reflected off particles in the air. So a very short beam of light is fired through the bottle, is reflected off particles, and refracts a bit through the bottle creating a lovely light show. :)

  • wow. that is just so cool Einstein would have a hard on...... wow LIGHT MOVING

  • i really don't think anyone really understands what this video is. wow i waited my whole life to see this. i allways wondered what light really looked like. and here it is. all i can say is wow .. please watch. its amazing

  • why are the colours so off?

  • Just saw this again and it's still mind boggling. Even the implications of this research are still beyond our imaginitive grasp.

  • How long it takes to process a trillon fps with the actual computers?. It is hard to belive that there are a trilion fps.

  • @enablado Naw dude, you aren't reading the description right. It's a trillion FPS, but filmed a whole bunch of times times, then using measurement software and what not they take frames from the many, many recordings made at 1 trill fps and compile it into a 60 (or less) FPS video that's 3 minutes long.

  • How to explain the "tail light" towards the source still some time after the passage of the beam a specific location?

  • @AlexSrspb : the bottle is filled with a liquid (water) and the "light effects" are light's refractions. I wonder why we don't see that delayed, though, given the fps at which this was taken.

  • @AlexSrspb if i understand your question, i think its that as the light is scattered by the water (the only reason it is visible from the side) some of it is reflected off the side of the bottle. Either that or something to do with the way the light hits the camera lens.

  • @LeoMRogers Look closely at 45 seconds. How can the light to pass different distances: from the middle of the bottle to the bottom of it; (reflection from the bottom) and from the middle of the bottle: (reflection from the water) and then sync to get into the lens of the camera?

    The light (beam) moves from left to right. This is a short pulse. This is not a continuous emission of light, means - reflection beam can not be "longer" than the pulse beam.

    (Sorry for my english)

  • @AlexSrspb I think what you are describing is due to the changning shape of the bottle. But if it isnt that, then i have no idea.

  • Coca-Cola!

  • Fckin advertisement video, nothing else. ;)

    Coca Cola is a very unhealthy and expensive junk drink.

  • 32 клоуна не поняло что это такое ))))

  • @411Taker Расскажите, я не понял, например.

  • Coca Cola approves this video.

  • From what I gather with my very limited knowledge about science is that what you see in the video is NOT a direct recording of an actual lightbeam, but a VISUALIZATION based on raw data.

  • Would you record on video the two facing photons or photon influence on a continuous laser beam?

  • awesome

  • they couldn't remove the stupid wrapper?

  • FAKE!

  • I still made your mom orgasm faster

  • it is divinely beautiful!

  • Damn, Coca Cola must have paid these guys a bundle

  • They could use this technology to film particle collisions in the LHC or something...

  • Why is it that fuckwits can even find videos like these? If you're stupid enough to think this is fake, how did you even think to search for this video? You're an idiot in the first place.

    There should be a page before you reach this one that reads "NO RETARDS PAST THIS POINT, JUST SCIENCE" in bold size 72 font.

  • please do some research ..before you guys post negative remarks..

  • Hello! May i download this videos in better quality?

  • New coca-cola ad.

  • Wow. Can we capture the spark of life? I would like to see an atomic bomb explode at this speed...

  • What's the name of this music in the intro

  • What is the name of this audio track? What music is this in the beginning

  • you need to run a car in the wall (not with you inside it) and capture it with that camera

  • @fanman320 That would several take life spans to watch, assuming the car accident takes a few tenths of a second. With this camera everything would look still, the car is touching the wall but nothing happens.

    I don't think people grasp how slow motion this thing really is, this camera literally slows things down several million times more  then the camera that the discovery channel use to capture things in slow motions.

  • PRODUCT PLACEMENT!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • right, who shit under the bottle this time?

  • why does it look like a bullet and not like a beam?

  • it would be really cool if they put a mirror inside the bottle and letting the light bounce on it into an other direction.

  • Why not arrange some mirrors inside a big transparent box filled with some sort of gas (so that it's visible). Then fire the LAZORZ and watch the beam of power bounce around the thing like motherfucker. Do something spectacular, you assholes. Throw some prisms in as well.

  • I want to see light going through a prism!

  • I've been waiting for the explosion... Bottle is still intact... Desapointed... 

  • trillion frames per second *1mb per frame=1 million terabyte of data per second =FAKE

  • @patchinko69 I hope you are intentionally being moronic. But just in case...

    These are not second long samples, they are about a nano second, which is how long it takes light to travel about a foot (see how that works?). So divide your numbers by one billion (the number of nanoseconds in one second) and that is how much data is actually required.

    If they were a full second then you'd be watching the light travel to the moon, and the full video would take about 40 years to watch.

  • @chodaboy51500 to my mind you are moron

  • Comment removed

  • @patchinko69 shut the fuck up

  • @patchinko69 they'll probably say, their took samples from a lot less than a second :D

    still, i still believe this is a FAKE too :P

  • choraa cahorraaada!!!!!

  • Читаем Игоря Иванова и понимаем, что заявленная "съемка со скоростью триллион кадров в секунду" - чушь. igorivanov.blogspot.com/2011/1­2/trillion-fps.html

  • reclama la coca cola?

  • Dear Santa...

  • 100% fake... it's 3d

  • @sashabgmailru No, it's not.

  • @sashabgmailru

    yes. You're totally right its totally "100% fake"

    MIT researches put their credibility on the line and made a fake and called it real to fool all the other scientists.

    you fucktard. you're 100% retarded.

  • Hello! Would you show the same only in vacuum?

  • you people believe that shit? are u serious?

  • So MIT can afford state of the art bleeding edge technology that can slow down the fastest particles in the world to allow viewing, but they can't afford the royalties to better music? If you're going to spend tens of millions of dollars producing a video, atleast spend the extra 200$ and get some decent music. Amiright?

  • Fake.

    If you can see the "Speed of light" then how come you don't see the light traveling to the table from the reflection?

  • @nickpoinier1 they're not scanning that area. 

  • @nickpoinier1 Speed of light's different between the water and the air.

  • @nickpoinier1 the light reaches the table prior to the camera, so you can see the reflection in the camera ;-)

  • @nickpoinier1 Youre saying that MIT scientists would put their credibility on the line for a youtube video? Dumb shit. It's a laser....

  • @nickpoinier1 the camera isn't directly between the bottle and the table, so a photon travelling from one to another wouldn't enter the camera, unless it took a detour

  • インパクトにはかけるなぁ。普通のデジカメで、コーラボトルに懐­中電灯あてて撮影しても同じような映像はとれるでしょ。オレだっ­たらプリズムとか鏡とかつかって光を屈折させてみせるけどね。

    

  • slow motion light sounds like trance music.

  • I'll bet coke loves the free advertising. They should send the researchers a ton of free coke.

  • Wow !!! hope these cameras are out for Christmas.

  • The camera is at 10^12 (1,000,000,000,000) fp/s.

    If we were to watch one whole second of film @30fp/s,

    it would take:

    (((((10^12)/30)/(60^2))/24)/36­5.242199) years..

    (10^12)/30 = 33333333333+(1/3) seconds..

    (33333333333+(1/3))/(60^2) = 9259259+(7/27) hours..

    (9259259+(7/27))/24 = 385802+(38/81) days..

    (385802+(38/81))/365.242199 = 1056 years + about 107 days.

    ...

    What a way to spend a millennium! :)

  • @l2udolph Thank you!!!!! I was actually wondering this didnt want to do the math.

  • They explain in more detail if you click the video link in the Video Responses.

  • 凄い!

  • @bray987 this is amazing because this camera can a) capture 1 trillionth of a second and b) combine it with other frames from identical actions into one single series of sequential video.

  • @hfalc this camera doesn't truly capture 1 trillion FPS. It captures frames that are 1 trillionth of a second, then combines them from several samplings over several minutes to create a whole. To get one second of video, it would capture 1 trillion frames but it would be from many instances of the same action. What you are seeing in the combination of many tiny pieces of many laser pulses.

  • @bfriar It figures. Otherwise, at normal frame rate of 30 fps it would take 33,333,333,333 seconds to watch a second of recorded video. This might have it's uses in science. But still it is a cheat. It does not show the propagation of a light beam. But a sequence of stills taken from many bursts of light and at different points of it's trajectory. It is cool to watch anyway.

  • And how is this a huge break-through? I don't get how this video is any different than any other video of a lower FPS

  • @bray987 we can see the light move

  • @bray987 Well you capture me a video that shows light moving if it's not any different than videoing your dog taking a shit.

  • @bray987 Pro tip: Light travels 7 times around the world in a second (about 300 000km/s). In the video you can see it travelling distances that are measured in CENTIMETERS (0.00001km).

  • AWESOME !

  • "Mommy, what Is that light passing on the coke bottle?

    -

    That's you - inside me."

  • Nuka-Cola Quartz ftw

  • @Tehnloss I used to drink that. Then i took an arrow in the knee

  • mit is full of awesome

  • finally we can film a roundhouse kick of chuck!

  • NOOOOOOOOOOO

  • Just noticed the bottle was full of water, that slows light down to about 140,000 miles per second. So 739,200,000 FPS.

    Do the same math as before, it would take about 328 years to watch a full second of footage slowed down this much.

  • Amaaazing, O_o would have been better if the bottle cap was reflective and the light burst would bounce back towards the opposite direction. XP

  • Did some math, guess I will share it.

    The 2 liter bottle is a foot in length, it took the pulse 14 seconds to go from the bottom to top of the bottle.

    Light travels about 186,000 miles per second, that is 982,080,000 feet per second. Multiply that by 14, then divide to minutes, hours, days, and years.

    So to watch a second of real time slowed down this much, it would take you about 436 years to watch. Rough estimate since that is not exact light speed or exactly 14 seconds, but you get the gist.

  • Boring. Go directly @ 2:25

  • From what i read of it recently the neutrino thing is most likely an "error" related to the satellite used as the single clock of the experiment to counter "relativity" effects. Using different clocks would not be accurate at all so they had no choice. But since the earth move (so does the satellite) and spin, it introduce "incertainty" to an insane amount of parameters. So long story short, in the end this might only prove Einstein theory once again instead of discredit it.

  • At first, I thought this was AMAZING, but then I read the description. It's not actually filming the movement of light, but it's taking millions of observations of different times. Still pretty cool, but nowhere as cool as I thought...

  • @linkmandrew

    I don't know, it seems to me like it's the same principle as normal recording since you can decently say that all events (different flashes) are the exact same (at our scale... we cannot possibly see any difference ).

    Amazing that is .

  • @chibraxial I think he means that moving objects cannot be filmed with this technique

  • @Requiemes

    Oh that.

  • @linkmandrew Man, it's AMAZING. Just to say, the process of capturing color images is more complex than b&w pic, and even though b&w is closest to reallity. Ppl would just say the opposit. In this case, the method can be repeated several times, without meaning any loose to the experiment. It's a view from a macro-universe.

  • @linkmandrew Man, I think the principle of filming is to capture lots of consecutive frames of the scene. Every camera works this way, isn't it? The great thing about this one is that it can capture 1 trillion frames per second, way more than the regular ones.

  • Suddenly I want to drink Coke.

  • Sorprendente.... la cago!!!

  • they should shoot a light beam through a glass of water to observe the change in velocity

  • Coca-cola rulez

  • the most expensive Coca-Cola ad ever ;)

  • @madvas2 Not expensive at all

  • With this camera Star Wars was filmed.

  • Thumbs up if you want them to hit the bottle while the light "is traveling" trough it, to see if the light follows the bottle or not.

  • On September 22, 2011, a paper[73] from the OPERA Collaboration indicated detection of 17-GeV and 28-GeV muon neutrinos, sent 730 kilometers (454 miles) from CERN near Geneva, Switzerland to the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy, traveling faster than light by a factor of 2.48×10−5 (approximately 1 in 40,322.58), a statistic with 6.0-sigma significance.[74] On 18 November 2011, a second followup experiment by OPERA scientists confirmed their initial results.[75][76]

  • @acolon001 & @vanHillQ, why don't you explain what you understand, this is still a fake to me, may be you two should understand first before saying i'm ridicule myself

  • I came here from OCN!!!!

  • Also doesn't change the fact that neutrinos are invisible...

  • finally, we can watch justin biebers sextape once it comes out.

  • sounds like porn music

  • Good viral ad by Coca Cola, I guess =D

  • Did coca cola company pay a bit of their science grant?

  • So am I understanding this right? They flash an instance of light toward the bottom of the bottle and we're watching the light travel across the bottle?

  • @boazn8 Exactly, But it can't be taken one shot at a time. they can only take one row of pixels per shot and they combine each video into this complete aspect ratio movie.

  • @Helicopterpilot16 Thank you.

  • @Helicopterpilot16 Right! Lets crank it up... 'Right Up', until it pops..

  • This is amazing! I -3 science

  • thumbs up if came here from linux.org.ru. Ну же!

  • I just accidentally a Coca-Cola bottle

  • i can't believe so many people just believe this BS, it's a fake. It's just a 3D rendered animation, they can't even make a good fake 3D rendered animation, check the light refraction reflected on the table, how come the refraction reflection on the table appear the same time as main light reflection, infact the refraction displayed further right from the main, but still displayed at the same time. c'mon guys, we all learn basic physic at high school or college. shame on MIT for pulling this BS

  • @izmanq as another person said... Read the info first!. or at least look elsewhere to understand how this is captured before you ridicule yourself.

  • @izmanq you don't get what this video represents do you?

  • @izmanq Boy, you're trolling around a bunch of these videos trying your very best to convince people it's fake, when it is undeniably a scientific fact. Not to mention the very theory of this type of camera is completely solid and sound.

    Apparently you're physics department is/was a complete failure if they didn't teach you the very basics of physics.

  • FLASHBACK

  • Why is there no idiot that writes "I love to play Quake on that much FPS!"

  • you guys are awesome and a referencein tecnology development

  • If this is true, I want to see light bouncing from a mirror without seeing a reflection on the floor first.

  • How come if this is a particle of light it have a light reflection? Isn't the light reflected part of this particle? Shouldn't we see the light moving towards the reflecting surface too? I call shenanigans!

  • Comment removed

  • @joseamirandavelez read the info genius... "However, due to very short exposure times (roughly one trillionth of a second) and a narrow field of view of the camera, the video is captured over several minutes by repeated and periodic sampling."

  • Isn't light slower in the water ?

    How about capturing one of those green lasers..

  • Perfect tool to capture Kim Kardashian's wedding

  • Helm,warp 9, engage!

  • ONE TRILLION FPS...the only thing that comes to my mind is HOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

  • Mother of God

  • i wish i had this sort of money to fuck around in an MIT lab

  • @invisiblecrowe It doesn't take money it takes hard work and brains.

  • @michalchik getting the money is the easy part...

  • that video must be 10 terabytes recording 1080p @ 1,000,000,000,000 FPS

  • @FearInTheDeep Not if the video is only 1/10000000000000 of a second (one femtosecond) in length. That's *light* you're seeing travel across there, so it's the time light takes to travel the .5 meters or so we see in the video. That's a short time. Youtube can only display 24 frames per second like any other video, and your computer's screen is probably only 60Hz, but they've taken so many frames (essentially pictures) that they can slow it down and present it here.

  • Comment removed

  • hope they were sponsored by coca cola

  • What kind of camera records a trillion fps? Damn..

  • Boring video for that tech!

  • @mixarrpg

    What would you rather see? One second filmed at this speed takes over a thousand YEARS to play back... anything 'cool', such as explosions etc... would take longer than your lifetime to watch. Light is about the only thing fast enough to visualise with this.

  • Also, this technique requires a repeatable even to be filmed many times so that the camera can pick up a narrow view and stitch them together into a full frame. So only stuff like light pulses which can be set off identically again and again, can be filmed.

  • This is the fastest particle in the universe, and to manage to make it look this slow, truly unbelievable. Just contemplate the fact that nothing in this universe is faster than that light pulse. Wow

  • @servercabinet you're wrong. researchers have found a particle that's faster than light. it's called neutrino.

  • @Lzibbah That hasn't been replicated by an independent group. It's still only one group reporting those results.

  • @Mycha31 @michalchik from what i've read, it's already been proven that neutrino is faster than light. they've been testing for months and months for faults, but there has been none.

  • @Lzibbah It doesn't matter that one group has been testing it for months and months. Their results are interesting, but you need the same data to be replicated by SEVERAL groups. I'm not saying it's impossible that neutrinos can be FTL. I'm just saying the jury is still out; we just need to wait for other groups to corroborate their results.

  • @Lzibbah Unproven, probably experimental error. they are still trying to get the bugs worked it. It is certain that some neutrinos go slower than light.

  • @servercabinet

    Actually Light is not the fastest in the universe anymore. Neutrinos are.

  • @islumbum That doesn't change the fact that light is pretty damn fast.

  • @islumbum Actually you are wrong, it was shown to be a miscalculation.

  • @TheWoWGrind

    It wasn't found to be a "miscalculation". Lots of scientists went into an uproar about the neutron being faster. So they are going back and re-testing everything all the scientists and theorist are saying they did wrong. and the results are still showing the neutron being faster. So... no I am not wrong. Nice try though. ;)

  • @islumbum

    Whoops meant neutrinos not neutrons. Lol.

  • @islumbum agree, follow up test have confirmed the original test, that the particles are faster than light.

  • @islumbum Both of you idiots are wrong. The findings won't hold weight until all possible errors can be calculated out. The biggest being the clocks both labs use, even a tiny discrepancy could easily grant the neutrinos the 60 they measured. Being as though the clocks aren't synchronized with eachother that's very probable.

  • @TheWoWGrind false...Follow up test have confirmed the original test

  • @servercabinet we cant confirm that light pulse is faster in universe due to last discoveries in CERN
