They should be focused on real science like inventing an invisible sandwich.. so when you eat it everyone thinks you're crazy...

[@samhouston4326]

Have you not contacted the US Government? This Administration is handing out money hand over fist for stellar ideas like yours.

[@samhouston4326]

Adrian M What? Now you don't be such a Jack's Ass. I am all for invisible sandwiches. I was making a slight towards this irreverent Administration that has bankrupted this Nation and still doling out that dough for stuff that we really don't need to be focusing on. Have you not seen the worthless studies that they have been funding just so some University can make some money? Our Institutions of Higher Learning have become nothing more than businesses that have become idea boxes on how to make money of the next biggest idea. Hence the reason that the Fed is demanding that everyone be college educated. The more kids that go to college, the more money colleges make and the more chances that they have at finding the next Thneed. That is not learning. That is not advancing mankind. That is profiteering. Investment in trade schools would serve this Nation much better with skilled labor and provide the People good careers. Somehow, I don't think there is going to be much work at the invisible sandwich factory.

We can have a camera that than observe light moving at 186,000 mps, but the police still can't get a clear photo of a criminal at a shopping centre.

That's because it's the shopping mall who buys the cameras, not the police

[@BenHutchinson321]

That is THE MOST IMPRESSIVE device I've ever seen. It literally lets you see light as it moves! I hope those depictions of what this camera is doing aren't just simulations showing what it will be able to do when it is fully developed, but rather actual video footage taken from the camera. Just curious, HOW do you even make electronics that work fast enough for this, since electric current is limited to moving at the speed of light?

[@williamarthurfenton1496]

That is so hypnotic. The bottle displays the duality of the pulse so well. It's obviously a point source in the clear portion, but as it enters the label its wave front becomes clear, only to coalesce back into a point again.

[@pollin1337]

amazing... 8:30 best shot IMO. the delayed reflection in the mirror. reminder that light is physical matter. you never see the light beam directly, only the light that is reflected back to the camera. awe and wonder.

[@espinoth9913]

Its so weird to see waves of light. The effect is so disorienting; and it makes everything look like low-poly 3D computer models.

[@quantumdude836]

welcome to the world of quantum physics!

[@isaacbitme]

They didn't use camera's, they used sensors. It more than likely was a 3d computer model that reacted in relation to the data that was collected. The only way to reach 1,000,000,000,000fps realistically.

[@isaacbitme]

[@wbenedet]

Can you use this on the double slits experiment with 1 photon shot through it?

[@telemachin]

curiosity killed the cat.....

[@JimboWizbo]

If you fire one photon you won't see it, because it won't hit the lens, it will hit the plate behind the slits!

[@telemachin]

i have been fixing computers all days, i am not on youtube to think, i will cook that damn cat and make a " cat cooking video" on youtube.

[@telemachin]

not really, but dealing with users......

[@alex10791]

[@chairmanofrussia]

[@0TylerDurden0]

Maybe you guys should use this camera to study sonoluminescence.

[@renereiche]

Yeah, double slit experiment with chalk powder please! Also one with materials in which light travels at very different speeds in.

[@ChileThailandtravel]

Thanks for sharing and I have subscribed

[@christopherveld6555]

ok, so you are viewing light passing over objects, but here is a catch... If you need light to interact with the camera in order to view anything, what are we actually seeing here?

[@christopherveld6555]

Id really like to see light travel over a high speed moving object in contrast to a stationary object.

[@MsHojat]

Light is way too fast for there to be any noticeable difference (at least for any sort of current machine we have, or that will even be likely to exist ever). Both would look like light moving pas a stationary object. That said, what you're describing could not even be done properly. The method being used here uses the same technique as "stop motion", so if a moving object was to be used, it would need to have absurdly precise activation times and trajectories such that it would be in a consistent position for each stop motion frame taken. If one was to use a gun, this process would require shooting the gun thousands of times at the same spot with femtosecond-level actuation timing accuracy which I suspect might be impossible with current tech, although in theory it's at least possible (if not already possible). Like I already said though, it would be completely pointless though because a speeding bullet is just like a stationary object to light, and you could get the same effect by just suspending a bullet in the air with a string.

[@lemon4538]

so the camera shutters faster than the speed of light? ok...

[@ParanoidMaster]

rewatch the video, actually listen to what the scientist explains, then double check if your question has any logic...

[@alienlabs]

There is a big misunderstanding about this, the title doesn't help. There isn't a cam THIS fast, it'd be impossible. This movie is done by simply taking photos with a precisely timed delay. Imagine a car passing by in front of your house every 5 minutes: you take a picture of it when it's distant, then 5 minutes later you take a picture of it when it's a bit closer, then 5 minutes later you again take a photo when it's even closer and so on. Put all pictures in sequence and there you have it.

[@chrishydahl4580]

The people who comment things like "it would take two years with that framerate". Well, that's on a basis that the actual "tape" is one second long. Which it is not. It is the length of fotons traveling through a short distance. Which again is waaaaaaaaay shorter than 1 second :-)

[@jasonortiz9981]

That is indeed a VERY fast camera. But not really capturing MOVING light cause that would be impossible as photons have to hit the cameras sensors in the first place. so this is the best you can get. more like a scan

[@samirasaad9972]

Jason Ortiz the photons already hit the cameras sensors before they actually flew past the front of the camera

[@petterlarsson7257]

They shot a laser not a photon Laser emit photon

[@VikingPotatoes]

now all we need is a monitor that is 1 billion Hz and a youtube player that displays more than 30 fps.

[@TheKittenish]

Maybe there should be an option to upload or display a video with more FPS, but for 95% of KZbin videos 30FPS is perfect and in fact better than 60FPS because 60FPS would buffer 2x slower, it would suck.

[@rakenguitars]

And technically even on a 30 FPS if you were to watch a 1 billion fps picture you are seeing it in 1 billion fps...

[@BoeingAirbusGuy]

TheKittenish well now you can play some videos at 60FPS

[@VikingPotatoes]

boeingairbusguy Only newer videos. If they choose to render at 60fps

[@shawn.spencer]

Why would anyone dislike this? Like, it's science, not an opinion.

[@petterlarsson7257]

He litteraly shot Photons right next to the camera idiot

[@tuberyou1149]

This is what I was thinking. Thanks.

[@oatlord]

Nice to see Dr. House's friend is getting work after leaving the hospital.

[@donaldkjenstad1129]

Can this be done for the double slit experiment? I would love to see that.

[@tradestone100]

+Donald Kjenstad (DonK) I don't think so. Look that: watch?v=TkJ_WgruM2g at 54:15

[@nathansmith3608]

you could maybe work this into some version of the double slit experiment comma but it wouldn't affect the results or anything. the issue in the double slit experiment is the Observer Paradox - basically that you can't make precise measurements of a given particle at the quantum scale, partly because the particles seem to exist as slightly amorphous probability clouds until we cause something measurable to interact w/ them it doesn't relate to how quick our measuring devices are, far as I can tell, b/c if we watched the particle, that would still be the observed condition & collapse the wave (plus, I think the electrons or other particles you could use are so light that the laser would risk knocking them right off the table)

[@donaldkjenstad1129]

+Brent Yeah, I know that intellectually, It's so hard to understand it. This duality of particles(wave and particle) is such a hard concept to get your head around. The collapse of the wave function is totally strange. I think someone said that if you think you understand quantum physics, you really don't understand QP.

[@Hunne2303]

what if there is nothing to actually understand?

[@ffs55]

My understanding is that we COULD, but it would be entirely unrevealing. We would see the illumination of the pulse from the light source slowly "move" along the video, where you see the 1 cm pulse width momentarily light up the backdrop in the familiar harmonic visual pattern that you're familiar with. Remember, this isn't a conventional movie camera with just some impossibly high FPS. It *simulates* an ultra-high FPS bc the scene is (a) static and (b) has lighting effect that is precisely repeated via precise illumination burst (i.e. there's a presumption that the same time-space lighting effect unfoldment is reproduced each time -- thus the video capture process is possible only if it captures a reality that happens to be de-multiplex-able in space-time). The tip off is that it requires its "slowly rotating" mirror for the process to werk.

[@ERiCDrAyViN]

Don't under stand this at all. How can you see a photon that is moving 'across' your line of vision? The photon has to go into the camera lens for the camera to see it.

[@Klatrevalross]

they scatter in the air

[@ashir555]

I'm the only one wich didn't understand squat and only saw light moving in slow motion???

[@cizzlen07]

Ashir nope lol

[@AlxM96]

The best i can do is writing what the MIT scientists say on their own site: " We use a pico-second accurate detector. We use a special imager called a "STREAK TUBE" (or "s. camera") that behaves like an oscilloscope with corresponding trigger and deflection of beams. A light pulse [...] is then deflected in the perpendicular direction so that photons that arrive first hit the detector at a different position compared to photons that arrive later. The resulting image forms a "streak" of light."

[@marabundo]

finaly now you can record double-slit experiment

WHY YOU NO UPLOUD IN 60 FPS ohh the video is from 2012... ok sry

[@gunguy100]

Although KZbin caps at 30 fps : ( So we can never REALLY capture the purest essence of this video's beauty unless we see the first hand video.Still looks good though : ).Good video

[@7071t6]

It takes just as much time to watch it, lol :)

[@albertsitoe7340]

They cheated

[@jst1man]

Yawn... How much money wasted.

[@davidrahrer]

The ability to actually view a photon wave could be incredibly useful for medical diagnostics, along with things we haven't even thought of yet. How did you came to your "money wasted" position, especially considering the relatively small expenditure in question?

[@NavanBethrax]

You just dont get the possibilitys that we get with this invention.

[@sethrobey3676]

Yeah, we could have better spent the money on salaries for professional sports athletes.

[@cmdrdrdeath6624]

This opens up the possibility to use improved light scatter instead of ultra sound for tissue imaging in the medical field. Hardly a waste of money. One day you'll be glad that the new imaging technologies caught a disease early.

[@camlind12]

Not everybody wants to work on the cure for cancer or some other of the "noble" causes.

[@pooyan17]

please do the two slit experiment and film it. is there a way to show the fundamental experiment in quantum mechanics in slo-mo. that would be awesome. although i guess you could never film a single photon.

[@UristMcTubedwarf]

just observing the experiment could collapse the wave function and get improper results. thats the tricky part about the double slit experiment.

[@rogerbrandt6678]

That would be awesome to try and reproduce that expirement.

[@UristMcTubedwarf]

just clarification, not the act of observing it with your eyes breaks it, its just the way in which we have to manipulate the experiment in order to observe it breaks it.

[@delcox4477]

People keep overlooking the "virtual" part of "virtual slow motion camera". This setup isn't showing the same photons moving through the target. It's taking hundreds of pictures, each of a different set of photons, each at a different point in the target. Then they just slap the pictures together in an order that gives the illusion of progression. The only thing that's really amazing is the shutter speed.

[@gingyburticus6805]

No of this matters. The human eye cant see past 24 FPS anyway

[@willoughbykrenzteinburg]

Cameron Burticus You aren't WATCHING it at a trillion frames per second. You are WATCHING it at 30 fps. It was CAPTURED at a trillion frames per second - - and slowed WAY DOWN to 30 fps. By the way, the human eye can see far more than 24 fps. Where did you get this number? There are videos right here on youtube that playback at either 30 fps or 60 fps - and you can tell the difference. 60 fps looks all soap-opera-y. The human eye can differentiate between frame rates up to about 150 fps.

[@gingyburticus6805]

Willoughby Krenzteinburg Dude. All of the movies are in 24 FPS cause the human eye cant see past that.

[@gate3929]

Cameron Burticus 24 FPS? Dude, we can see 60 fps. Well, if you can't then you need an eye test or some shit.

[@gingyburticus6805]

Jude's guide to games No dude I promise my xbox does 30 and its is smooth because I cant see 30

[@gate3929]

Cameron Burticus Yeah, somethings wrong with your eyes. 30 is laggy as hell for me.

[@xSabretoothx15]

None of you are even close. Assuming only 3 seconds of the explosion is recorded and the video is played back at 30 fps, the slow-motion video would last over 3,000 years. Light's faster than you think.

[@psychedeliccarrie5921]

But can it see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

[@RomeoTudose]

The amount of light you need to iluminate a subject in order to record at over 500K fps is extremely huge.

[@DJWaffleston]

No one's forcing you to stay and watch, genius.

[@cosmosliger]

This is really cool. Notice on the Coke bottle one how the parts of the image farther away from the camera show the band of light farther back along the bottle, because it takes longer to get to the lens from there. _However_, we're not looking at individual photons. We're looking at an individual laser light pulse composed of a whole bunch of them (the thing about photons that you only observe them in one place so you need a whole bunch of them to make an image) Still, fascinating.

[@Phonolith303]

Good idea!

[@arrican2]

But can the camera see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

[@gamebro511]

how DO they pack all that delicious cinnamon flavor into each square bite?

[@worcesterbertie9980]

[@hitechhippie6453]

Fascinating !

[@p3tabyte]

Oh, thanks for the heads up! May I go now?

[@TheTrumanZoo]

this demonstrates the particle wave duality... it moves along a path... so it is a particle... that radiates in all sides from the origin point.... so the wave calc applies on this part of the effect that consists of two

[@orionsswords]

I was wondering the same thing. The higher the FPS the faster the shutter has to move. Which means that the exposure time is much less. I had the opportunity to use a high speed camera for some testing for a robotics team I'm on. We were running tests at

[@CristianDNeira]

I think that in a near future we can get that kind of cameras for a cheaper price and it would be awesome create new art :)

[@Azamyth]

so this is a faster then light camera array? that is pretty awesome

[@iamazdavids]

Finally a camera that can catch a full Chuck Norris kick.

[@notcyndi]

Hey, it's back! Why did you make this a private video for a year?

[@tuberyou1149]

After all, it's a 'virtual' camera so anything they have done with it has produced 'virtual' results.

[@803brando]

10:28 is an amazing example. light source if coming from the left, hits a surface on the right, you can see the photons change directions! they should try using odd non-everyday objects like cylindrical cones of different degrees.

[@pielovingp]

Now they have managed to capture light. They have made something awesome. KZbin should try to do something like that too. By bringing back old KZbin :)

[@bobware2114]

who did the music? Love it!

[@prashanmadura2338]

👌

[@senseofnickels]

Not surprisingly, what you described is the very definition of a video. Back in the day, when "motion pictures" were first described (see Muybridge), this is exactly what they did. They took timed-delay pictures from separate cameras. Now we have sensors that can take multiple pictures in a row. Doesn't make this any less of a video. Both are still a sequence of images at a specified delay.

[@Polypropellor]

It's a Coca Cola commercial! That's not science! Hmmm. But, come to think of it, I really could use a coke right now.

[@busybillyb33]

Great. With this camera, I can finally see how a tortoise moves.

[@James-wd9ib]

Not sure if you noticed this, but after the expanding "bubble" of light hits the tomato thing, the tomato thing stays glowing well after the "light bubble" continues toward the wall. Photons bouncing around inside opaque matter? Food for thought. Wait, wtf was that rainbow afterwards

Thanks!

Yo is that raj from blue balls theory?! Can I get an autograph?

[@johnpublic7872]

Interesting that with this technology we have all the tool we need to build a militarily effective photon cannon.

[@flintwestwood5920]

The proof is really at 8:30. You can actually see the object illuminated, but not its reflection, and then the reflection illuminated, but not the object, thus demonstrating light captured in "mid flight". That's awesome!
