Oh my god, we can actually watch light.

im usually a fan of science but this is bullstuff

Apparently light travels at 186,282 miles per second. I don't think you could capture that with a standard slomo camera.

MIT Built this btw

What is this I don't even...


no really? slow motion of a light being shined across a bottle?

[Frontrox]

Though the bottom, all the way to the top. What you're seeing is light traveling though the bottle.

Ahh I get it now so it was just a pulse of light?

quite a bit more impressed now

Trillion frames per second.

I don't see why people think this is bullstuff, this is very interesting. It reminds me of the time that they were able to slow down light enough to be observable (It was going about 3 meters per second when they slowed it). I don't remember what exactly it was, but they made the light pass through some liquids that slowed it down multiple times.

I know for a fact that THIS is bullstuff.
Holy crap, damn, I actually found this.

I find that amazing.

I have a question that just popped into my head: If we can watch the light traveling... How are we seeing the light? It wouldn't have traveled to the lens yet...

Then again, the thing we see would just be the light finally making it to the device as it does... Still confusing... But it's possible, there's proof right there, I'm just missing some obvious stuff.

Wow I didn't even think of that

Light.

Don't think about it.
