Water drop at 2000 FPS - Stunning

I happen to be a StumbleUpon addict and came across this. I've seen many high FPS shot, but not this one. It's really very beautiful and kinda feels almost fractally. Check it out

Amazing and beautiful. There is SO MUCH we've yet to learn about our natural world.

we should try recording a ufo sighting with one of those

Awesome video. just goes to show how we define our reality only by how we PERCEIVE OUR REALITY and not by what is actually going on.

Love it.

Since digital storage abilities keep growing exponentially and dropping in price, it's only a matter of time before we all have 2000 fps digital camcorders.

Once that happens, who knows what people will spot in the moments in between perception.

Thanks for posting the cool video; seeing isn't always believing because many things are happenning all around us at a different spped than what we percieve as real-time.

Very interesting thought. I would love to have a 2000 FPS camera. I would be filming anything and everything.

Interestingly, I haven't seen many high frame rate videos, but the water droplet is one I have seen before, though it is none the less beautiful for that. There was a professor at the university I went to who did some research into this sort of thing; I can't remember exactly what he was trying to prove, but he had videos like that one. He also did a bunch where he used coloured dyes for better visibility. One of the weirder things he found was that the dye plume that a coloured droplet makes under the surface of the water looks a lot like an upside down mushroom cloud of an atomic bomb explosion.

amazing what watching something in super slow-mo with super high detail does
