Fuck yeah this is awesome. I bet that camera is one of a kind and worth several millions if not more...Was just browsing around youtube and came across this. Nothing short of spectacular.

i think your talking about bose einstien condensateI've seen scientists do the exact same thing with light (minus the coke bottle), but using frozen air, at just a few billionths of a degree above 0 Kelvin. I wonder how sick it would be to combine the techniques.
Could be. It was a brief video demonstrating that light could be slowed to the point of being visible to humans.i think your talking about bose einstien condensate

while it looks similar its a completely different thing
not only is it in the picosecond range, but its 3.335 picoseconds. or 3,335 (a few) femtoseconds.I am bothered by the salesmanship of calling one trillionth of a second (by definition a picosecond) "several femtoseconds". Where I grew up, a thousand was way, way more than several. cn
Or a millimeter. I find expressing very short durations in light travel distance to be useful. A nanosecond is one foot at lightspeed. cnnot only is it in the picosecond range, but its 3.335 picoseconds. or 3,335 (a few) femtoseconds.
It can't. It can only record incident light, which moves <cough!> as fast as youknow. The speed effect is an artifact of the imaging process. cnSo if the camera can take photos faster than light travelling, does that mean a car can be made with the same components to travel faster than light?
The camera isn't taking pictures faster than the speed of light. Rather, the shutter is snapping pics quick enough so that we can relatively slow light enough to visually watch it move.So if the camera can take photos faster than light travelling, does that mean a car can be made with the same components to travel faster than light?
