What if Every Second Lasted an Hour? - The Slow Mo Guys

[@theslowmoguys]

Does anyone else get slightly filled with dread imagining how bad it would be to be stuck at this speed. Even if you were surrounded by people you wouldn’t be able to communicate with anyone. It would be so lonely. It would take you so long to move anywhere. You wouldn’t be able to let anyone know what was happening to you. To them you’d be moving at normal speed but acting strangely… 🙁

[@dsbdsb6637]

Not according to me cause nobody would have known the current 'normal' speed at which we live instead slow speed shown in video would have been the norm. Dread can only exist if we know about both & compare them.

I've actually contemplated writing a book with this exact concept. EXACTLY this concept. A person who travels through a frozen world where there is one hour between the tick and the tock of an analog clock's consecutive seconds. I'm glad you used a bunch of water-based images, because I notice something very interesting. When something is in mid-motion, it appears stationary. But when a splash of water is in mid-motion, it appears SPARKLING. The droplets are so incredibly small that the angle of reflection of light actually changes at a noticeable rate. It's incredible. To say nothing of realizing just how fast something like a balloon pops.

Alot of the things you listed are hard to film in slowmo as simply put, the cameras are still too slow. Glass breaking they tend to need to be closer to a million frames per second rather than 90000, its speed is insane. Explosions are also difficult, they are so fast as to be again nearly instantaneous, again your looking around a million frames to get anything detailed. Bullets however, fairly slow in comparison, 90000 is enough to watch them for a good few seconds crossing an area only a few yards across (a standard 9mm is roughly 1150fps, so about 3.1 seconds at 90000frames to travel 1 ft).

I feel like I never have enough time to do things. But, when you slow down, and take the moment to appreciate just a second of time, stretch it out into an hour in your head, the world doesn’t move so quickly anymore. A lot happens in a second it turns out. Appreciate it. Life comes at you fast. In a second, everything can change. Your day can flip one way or another. In a moment you can be the saddest you’ve been, to laughing hysterically. In one second, it could all be over, just like that. One second actually makes all the difference doesn’t it? Suddenly when you think of it like this, the days are longer. Some days you don’t want them to be, but when you do, it feels better. Thanks for the video Gav.

The physics of everything in slow motion really seems to change in some strange way. Just makes me think that, to us humans, everything seems to be in almost constant motion. But to very small or very fast things, objects in reality must be pretty much at a complete standstill.

[@matthewjohnson1891]

[@gamistry2947]

@@matthewjohnson1891 That's a very interesting thought that often keeps me awake at night. Thinking how limited we are by our own perspective. I sometimes wonder what time must be like for different creatures, especially those with different lifespans and reaction times than us, like mayflies or fruit flies. Is time slower for them? Is time faster for say, giant turtles? What about that immortal jellyfish? Time is clearly not stationary for them because they can move around with time and can seemingly perceive everything with time. This is why I love science.

I once watched a dragonfly flying between water droplets and wondered how fast it had to react to maneuver. It essentially functions at a faster frame rate then we do. They may only have a year or two lifespan but they "live" for much longer then that.

[@hyperchango]

That's actually pretty accurate. Living beings experience time at their own "frame rate", so to say. I read somewhere that some people have made experiments with cats to demonstrate that and they reached the same conclusion. Cats reacted to very, very brief stimuli that went completely unnoticed to humans. That explains how they get so good at catching flies in the air.

[@col.choros3966]

I really like the match since it showcases how solids don't actually catch flame. They just phase change through liquid and then to gas where they finally ignite into a flame.

[@madisondampier3389]

The answer is a lot more complicated than you (or I) wish it was, but the gist of it is that a combustion reaction really does result directly into gaseous products, but the match has other chemical components, which under the pressure and temperature conditions, produces liquid reactants, if only temporarily.

[@estelyen]

In the German science fiction novel series "Perry Rhodan", the protagonists once entered another universe where time was running 72,000 times slower than in our universe, so about twice as slow as the slow parts in this video. The effects described in the book were pretty on point to the footage here, thank you for giving me a visual representation of it! In the novel, the protagonists were able to move at "normal speed" through the slow motion world. They had to be careful not to run too fast or they would feel the heat of atmospheric friction and they had to watch out for raindrops, because they might get a serious injury from walking into a completely stationary and unyielding drop of water...
