Visualizing Light with a Trillion FPS Camera, Camera Culture Group, Bawendi Lab, MIT

[YouBestN0tMiss]

I wish I had that many FPS in BF3...

[ROTORHEADPR]

WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! @ least do the experiment on a nice set of boobs next time 2 make it worth watching!

Explanation of the astounding capability this video exemplifies (put simply):

Humans have now perfected a technique in which they can capture THE SPEED OF LIGHT as it moves across a desk. The (almost) fastest moving particles are now able to be recorded. Absolutely fascinating. If you don't think so, go watch things explode on FPSRussia. Stay out of my nerdgasms.

[oguretsagressive]

The theory of relativity and this video are having sex inside my brain. To say something clever I have to wait for them to finish.

[WilliamNaville]

if only we had a trillion frames per second monitor we could watch this.,...until then , this is FAIL

[xSticky209]

@WilliamNaville I guess you have no idea what Slow Motion video capturing is.

[sh1zlEE]

@xSticky209 this isnt actually slow motion video capturing...

they just record this again and again and then put it all together on a computer

[legionarivsroma]

@sh1zlEE You sure? So it doesn't make any sense to put "a trillion fps" on the title, since this isn't slow motion.

[sh1zlEE]

@legionarivsroma i didn't say this isn't slow motion and yes, it probably has a trillion fps...

i said this isn't slow motion capturing

[legionarivsroma]

@sh1zlEE yeah, true, I didn't notice that

[WilliamNaville]

@xSticky209 i guess you dont have a clue in physics because slow motion capture is a big gimmick....as long as you cant watch something in the actual fps (and render it in your mind) you can observe it if something is just shot 120000 fps and you are watching it on a 60fps monitor that means it will be slow mo, but are you really observing it?

[NotLegendz]

all i see i light on fruit? could you do bullets or anything faster than bullet to capture for this trillion frame per sec camera?

[Netanel17]

@NotLegendz the fucking point is that they record at enough FPS that they can see a light pulse in slow mo. if thats not fast enough for you, you are retarded

[1993gandy]

@NotLegendz if they done something like that then the video would be 1 hour long and the bullet wouldn't look like it was moving.

[daspense]

This is fucking beautiful. To be able to actually see light traveling across a surface like that... mindblowing.

[nightkraawler]

after the first 30 trillion frames , it gets pretty boring

[MegaSpazzattack]

That's interesting and all, but what practical purpose does it have?

[TheMadArab138]

I wanted to like this, but it sucks balls.

[x2thay]

@TheMadArab138 That's because you don't know what it actually means :P

[Tr0llinator]

My camera is better



[imthetopstoner]

fruit okay lets see how light goes though a prism or a colidascope!!

[pcfreak65536]

wow, this is awesome.

[chodaboy51500]

My next video card 1,000,000,000,000 FPS

[TheUniqueGamer]

@chodaboy51500 that makes no sense at all

[dniper100]

Кроме скотча и помидора ничего лучшего найти не смогли? Хотя бы уже саму лампу включающуюся засняли.(

[izmanq]

:| still no one debunk this fake 3D rendered animation ? :|

[jrboggess]

@izmanq No, it's real. It's an SRL picture overlaid with the TPS camera result. It looks fake because we have to distort the real image in order to match the camera's capture. The TPS camera captures in 1D and a real camera captures in 2D.

[8BitMusicStudios]

@jrboggess 1D is a flat line, 2D is left right up down, 3D is left right up down forwards and backwards. so the camera cant capture 1d because it would have to be a flat line

[jrboggess]

@8BitMusicStudios True, and even higher 4D is the type of lightfield that our HR3D display tries to replicate. This camera captures one line at a time, and then the images are combined into a 2D image. The experiment has to be run many times before you can get a full video.

[scandopromotions]

But will it blend?

[siriussvaart1]

Thumbs up if mythbusters took you here

[krazyliljoo94]

Music: "Rising" by Kevin MacLeod

DO PEOPLE NOT READ FUCKING DESCRIPTIONS????

[tthattch]

I would also like to know which music you used for this video. Thanks in advance!

[nukec]

Excellence! Name of music??

[andacg1]

Sure, capturing light is more of a development, but wouldn't taking a video of a mosquito in flight be interesting as well?

[IshiEiketsu]

@andacg1 The technique works by repeatedly sampling the same event many times, so it only works for events that are perfectly and automatically reproducible.

[gboyd242]

@andacg1 Not only would it not work because of the technique being used but it would be pointless. The mosquito would appear to be completely stationary. This is orders of magnitude different than other "slow motion" videos. You are trying to compare one thousand frames per second to one trillion.

[kehezen]

@andacg1 you don't need 600 billions fps to capture that

[libb3n]

@kehezen

You need the speed for that fps. But no, you dont run the seqeunce with 600 billions fps. But you need those figures to be able to capture this and put it together to a stop motion. Sure, you could made this with 2 fps to with SLIGHT less visual quality....., but it wouldent look as nice.

[Typhoon10000]

@andacg1 - No.

[chrisybwell]

OMG its the outro music in my videos :3
