Fuck yeah this is awesome. I bet that camera is one of a kind and worth several millions if not more...
I'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.
e; they should capture some maryj with this camera; how awesome would that be.
I'd also like to see them capture the electrons moving through the 14nm transistors we design circuits with, that would be spectacular.

i think your talking about bose einstien condensate

while it looks similar its a completely different thing

Could be. It was a brief video demonstrating that light could be slowed to the point of being visible to humans.

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

not only is it in the picosecond range, but its 3.335 picoseconds. or 3,335 (a few) femtoseconds.

Or a millimeter. I find expressing very short durations in light travel distance to be useful. A nanosecond is one foot at lightspeed. cn

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. cn

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.
This camera didn't break the speed barrier of the speed of light, and is actually only taking pics every several thousand femto seconds as already stated.
