Here's What the Speed of Light Looks Like in Slow Motion

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk

I will try to find one.

Researchers would sometimes run the same experiment over and over in front of the same, too-slow camera until it had collected enough different frames of action to string together into a single, complete movie. This wouldn't work for crashing a compressed laser into a surface like etched glass though; the researchers wanted to see what that looked like, but they knew it would look different each time. There was no way to string multiple experiments together into a single movie.

The still camera makes a single, smeared shot of the laser's whole motion.

Does this new way of measuring light in objects give science a better understanding of refraction etc as in to create objects which trap all available light ?

or in reverse reflect all available light , buy studying and mapping the way photons refract of surfaces or within medium !

would be cool if they could make cloaking tech from this somehow

You guys do realize that there are a lot of people that can't see through your irony...

For those who can't, what is today's date?

“Light cannot be anything else but a longitudinal disturbance in the ether, involving alternate compressions and rarefactions. In other words, light can be nothing else than a sound wave in the ether.
Light propagates with the same velocity irrespective of the character of the source. Such constancy of velocity can only be explained by assuming that it is dependent solely on the physical properties of the medium.”
–Nikola Tesla

Tesla is wrong, sorry.

I have to ask. If the light is traveling through the bottle or the milk, how is the light also hitting the camera sensor at the same time?

a reply to: DaRAGE

the photons from the laser hit the water milk medium and then scatter via refraction through the medium in all directions including out of the bottle towards the camera !

One step closer to holodecks.

Tesla is wrong, sorry.

Yet science didn't prove him wrong still

a reply to: intergalactic fire

Sorry, completely untrue. Tesla was a genius in some ways, but completely wrong in others. His theories on the ether are completely proven wrong by science. Michelson-Morley disproved Tesla back in the 1800s and current scientific research would not be possible if it were real, as it relies on relativity /quantum mechanics.

Will this new camera technology be incorporated into my next iPhone (iPhone 15 maybe)?

Hope so... then I can catch my kids stealing me blind from my wallet!

The Michelson-Morley experiment was flawed in so many ways, at least its interpretations, and never disproved the ether as qm also didn't. QM needs the ether but don't want to use the name so they try to avoid it by the use of euphemisms.

If you prefer ignorance you are welcome to it. None of what you claim is true. I would love you to show me Tesla talking about QM before Einstein, and experimental proofs he is right. Tesla claimed relativity is wrong and there will never be any proofs of it. He's wrong, like you are. Stop making the man a god, better for you both.

When you're on a ship traveling at the speed of light, I bet the stars barely move? They certainly don't zoom past like in Star Trek. Too much distance between them.

But the speeds in Star Trek are ballpark ludicrous speed. They haul some major behind.

wait... wouldn't each frame in the video get progressively heavier?

The Speed of Gravity.

a reply to: LookingAtMars

Wow, it's like looking at the world's most expensive lava lamp.

I've read elsewhere that scientists have stopped light completely, using a Bose-Einstein condensate or something like that. Imagine that, seeing an image of light stopped still, I'd like to be that photographer.

a reply to: Thecakeisalie

If the light was stopped completely then how would you see the light?
