1 Billion Trillion FPS Camera can Capture Photons Moving Through Space

The video below, has some fantastic footage using a Ultra High-Speed camera.



Amazing!

Apparently, using this camera to watch a bullet pass through a 1 litre bottle (like they did with light in the video), would take a year to complete.

That's fast.

I am pretty sure someone always shared this video a few months ago. But cool stuff still.

Yeah just search capture photons

etc..

Without having to read other threads wsant this more a case of many apertures in sequence making the capture possible, and not an actual single camera at such fps?

Sorta like the giga pixel camera, which is lots of images tstitched together to give the resolution we see.

We can't actually do anything at a trillion billion anything per whatevers.. I'm sure..?

I'm not sure tho.

Oo

I did do a quick one.

Bugger.

first ove seen it and wow - its pretty amazing to see light waves bounce around like we were all shown in school on paper and in water.

very very cool.

Heh well those photons are certainly acting as waves not particles ;-p

I'd love to see them acting as particles too ;-p

I actually have a question regarding that. Can Electrons could also act like waves or particles too?

THis is correct. It isn't a single camera, but an array of cameras working together

cool vid.
Are these photons we are seeing in the vid, photons being reflected back from hitting solid surfaces?
I didn't see any photons until they had been bounced back off the floor, apple, bottle etc. Are photons invisable until they hit something?

Slight correction. It isn't "One Billion Trillion FPS," but "One Billion/Trillion FPS" as in the title of the video. Without the slash, it sounds like we're recording at one billion trillion FPS, or 1.0X10^21 FPS.

I believe the slash is in there to differentiate between long and short scales. Some parts of the world use the short scale (ie United States) while others use the long scale (ie Europe). Using the short scale one trillion is 10^12, while using the long scale one billion is 10^12.

Still impressive none the less!

Yes, electrons can act as both waves and particles. This is known as wave-particle duality, and is part of quantum physics. In the double slit experiment it was found that if either photons or electrons are fired in a narrow beam, such as a laser, through a panel with two small, parallel slits in it. The wave nature causes the photons or electrons to interfere, producing light and dark bands when observed.

Cheers mate.

I was thinking that if electron could do both then maybe that's why tesla could transmit energy wirelessly whilst edison was moving those electrons through wire. Anyways I'm probably way off. ;-p Thanks.

Thanks for the correction, I didn't know there was a difference.

edit on 13-8-2013 by DaRAGE because: (no reason given)

"Wave particle duality" seems like a mechanic of "Relational Quantum Mechanics", like a computer processing information when observed the light releases the information to be processed, but when tricked like an illusionist performing an illusion the beam of light speeds right past without releasing the information!

To us it would seem all these cameras were clicked all at once!
They would appear to be not in sequence.
