So, basically, lightning branches out from the cloud in search for the fastest route to the ground and whichever branch reaches the ground first lights up?

Yes, although it doesn’t really “light up” per say. All the energy from the other tendrils go back up and to the main branch that touched the ground. All that energy going in one direction down the same path creates an intense amount of light.

[@KabuVG]

I’ve noticed that lightning branches out like a tree, and that the first “branch” to make contact with something is the one that sticks. While every other branch gets completely erased and adds it’s power to the main one. And if two manage to make contact at the exact same time, is splits the energy between the two.

[@Neberdine]

path of least resistance

[@ThePuff_]

Nice

[@SandwichDoggy]

So basically the first branch to make contact is the path of least resistance and all the electrons are redirected and flow through that path which forms the larger, brighter main bolt

[@Sp00kq]

That's called path of least resistance

[@Platypi007]

The negative charge in the cloud is looking for a place to ground, that's why all the branches are reaching down. There are positively charged arms that reach up from the ground and the first of those that it makes contact with completes the circuit and the cloud dumps its charge into ground in a series of bright pulses down that main path.

[@JC130676]

Pause the video at one of the lightning strikes and then use period and comma keys to scroll through the frames. You'll see that the leader gets close to the ground but doesn't quite reach it, and then all of a sudden there's the insanely bright flash. That's the moment where the positively charged upwards lightning (which you can't see) connects with the negatively charged downwards lightning and this, and only this, is the actual lightning strike. Everything you see after the flash is just the glow of the superheated air but the actual electrical discharge is already finished. BTW, is it weird to watch a slow mo guys video in slow motion?

Amazing to see at this scale how the 'tendrils' seek the path of least resistance, and once the best one starts to reach its connection, robs the others of their energy

[@themockingdragon135]

It's less a path of least resistance, and more just random searching. A though experiment I've heard of is comparing the tendril to a 60 metre diameter sphere. The tendril moves in radii in random directions, and essentially whichever branch or feeler makes contact first is the one where all the energy is transferred. It's like having a group of ants trying to get from one side of ravine to another (and the ants are blind). smaller groups split off from the main group into ever smaller branches, and whichever group finds the other side first somehow sends a signal and the other groups follow the scent trail exactly to get to the other side of the ravine, regardless of whether or not it's the shortest route.

I've actually filmed a lightning storm before, but not to get a slow mo shot. You can get amazing pictures of lightning if you film it then go through the video frame by frame and screenshot it. Makes great screen savers. I've never gotten anything this impressive though.

[@HelenTudor-Douglas]

Dan & Gav, I was struck by lightning Sept. 1979 while going to college at USF Tampa. I was riding my bike, rain storm approached us, lightning came down, struck only myself (not girl riding bike beside me). It bifurcated in front of my face & struck both my hands on the handlebars, popped my bicycle into the air & I crash landed. Both my hands/fingertips were smoking! Raced to hospital, lucky to be alive. They said the rubber in my bike tires saved my life (rubber grounded my lightning strike). Ultimately, all my fingernails fell off & grew back weeks later.

[@aakashnaik1576]

You should try to lift mjolnir now.

[@HelenTudor-Douglas]

Hi NameAbetterCollabthan X AND SKI .....Yes, biggest long term problem is remembering how painful it was, fingernails falling off. Back then, people were so superstitious & acted like "God must not like her, she got struck by lightning." I heard lots of "whispers" about me in the hallways of the college dorm. Also, I avoid being outside, if I hear lightning in the distance. In 1979 I was struck BEFORE the rain even started. The clouds were rolling overheard & you could hear the thunder & than BAM, it got me!

[@DreamLightAuto]

So sorry to hear your painful experience. But, did your hand shaking so fast afterward?

[@HelenTudor-Douglas]

Hello Dream Light Ball, yes...my hands were shaking, my whole body shook! Had I not been on my bicycle when the lightning struck me I would be dead, I know that. Also very hard to hear: when the lightning struck me, is was a VERY noisy/loud BAM!

[@cedcampbell47012]

I've always heard that a lighting strike has feelers before the actual bolt. It was very cool to actually see them here. I used to take photos of lightning on my Canon DSLR. I would set it on bulb setting and use my remote trigger. Set the aperture to F/22 and ISO down to 100 and I could leave the shutter open for quite some time. Could capture numerous lightning strikes on 1 shot. But this slo-mo stuff is great. Cheers to you guys. Looks fun

[@Inertia888]

Really?!! that's the name of the song? because i got stuck on top of a mountain called "Moxie Bald" in a gigantic lightning storm one time. probably doesn't mean much to you guys, but to me, since it was one of the biggest lightning storms i had ever seen, was quite memorable. 😃

[@purpleheart3000]

Same! It made me so happy that they synced the strikes up with such a dramatic piece. They really did it justice!

[@ryugo7713]

If lightning amazes you, check out blue jets and red elves. There is still so much we don’t know about lightning strikes and exactly what causes different types.

[@SentinalSlice]

Ryugo7 7 aren’t there green ones as well that occur in the upper atmosphere?

[@SentinalSlice]

Grimace427 yeah I think so.

[@TCBYEAHCUZ]

They'll need some better equipment then, like special light sensitive optics etc in order to pickup the redsprites/jets, it's also going to be extremely difficult because they are so faint and in order to capture a blue jet in slow motion you'll need to some how get the perfect angle where their high speed cameras can ignore the torrent of powerful lightning below the cloud in order to observe the blue jets above the cloud.

[@treyrulz23]

Dang who names these things types of strikes

[@TCBYEAHCUZ]

@@treyrulz23 The naming scheme was determined by the difficulty in initially discovering these phenomena. Their actual name is an overall branching classification known as "TLE's" aka Transient Luminescent Events. These types of lightning discharges just occur very quickly and don't produce much light. It is due to the high altitude they take place in where the thinness of the air causes their plasma to take a different form that is not an arc but rather a glow discharge. Similar to plasma globes.

[@fraan3417]

*Lightning bolts are insane.* Main strike travels to the speed of light. Can reach temperature of 30.000K (~5 times more than the surface of the sun). And can generate a one billion joules. (Similar to the amount of power a lightbulb consume every 6 months)

[@danieljensen2626]

1/3 the speed of light, but yeah.

[@og7023]

Rather exceeds speed of sound

[@thelightninghunter23]

Pretty much, only the return stroke (the brightening upon attachment of a downward leader to ground) is nothing more than a zone of increased current flow. People get the idea that the lightning event begins only when the return stroke occurs, which is not true.

[@danieljensen2626]

@@thelightninghunter23 I mean, it is a distinct event because it happens when the downward leader attaches to a streamer coming up from below. For cloud to ground strikes anyway. For cloud to cloud or intra-cloud the difference is a lot more subtle, but there's still more going on than just an increase in current. But yes, the flash is generally considered to start well before the return stroke, although exactly when is not precisely defined.

[@thelightninghunter23]

@@danieljensen2626 Intracloud, and even a majority of upward ground-to-cloud flashes do not have return strokes. The leaders simply propagate a certain distance before decaying. You may have recoil leader connections which are somewhat similar to return strokes, but they usually don't result in nowhere near the current seen in return strokes.

[@awiseseal7559]

I'm pretty sure there are cameras that can take light speed in slow motion but the thing is that it'll be much better if it was the size of a phantom for example.

[@davidflores909]

@@awiseseal7559 no, there aren't. What you're talking about is the MIT project that using information from various sensors, a pulsing light source, a still scene, and a camera were able to generate footage at a trillion frames per second. Note that the generation process takes all the hundreds of frames taken and stitches them using the data taken by the sensors. The camera itself is unable to do this, and I honestly really doubt it'll ever be possible to do it in real time and in any random scene. That's because the data will have to inevitably come out the photosensor (a single pixel) somehow, travel some distance which is limited by, unironically, light speed, and then be processed and stored by electronics that are also limited by light speed. That means that every single centimeter that you add to the recording pipeline is a centimeter that the light will travel per frame. So if your entire pipeline was one centimeter long, you'd be able to see light travel though a standard 30 cm ruler in a second at 30 fps.

[@awiseseal7559]

@@davidflores909 Ah well

[@Voxator]

@@davidflores909 What are you talking about? The camera which would be able to do this could have just multiple sensors. Your info about length of a pipeline also does not make much sense. The fact, that the data are traveling through something (lets say a wire/optical cable.. just for some clear discussion) does not mean, you cant send another data right after it. So you could just capture the light travel in your examle at 200 FPS - if your sensor is able to do so - and then wait till the data are processed. Was majority of modern cameras are not limited by speed of a sensor - but limited by speed and capacity of ram - for this very reason - they cant process the data fast enough to save them - so they just save the raw image data in the ram, till its full and process it afterwards.
