A camera with 1 trillion frames per second captures light entering a scene and leaving.

More context: This video is from 2012. While this camera captures light at 1 trillion frames per second, it has to repeat the pulse of light many times and add them up to make the video. It can only capture a 1-dimensional horizontal line of video for each pulse of light. A laser is pulsed repeatedly, and each time another line horizontal line is captured. These are eventually added up to make one complete video. Since 2012, 2-D single shot cameras have achieved as high as 70 trillion frames per second.

I have issue with the way this was described, the camera is capturing one frame per cycle or pulse of a laser, so the laser is actually flashing many many times, and they gather a timed capture per laser cycle then stitch its together. It’s not actually 1t fps.

This picture would take a year to watch with the same camera 🤯🤯🤯

Pretty awesome.

Will someone show me the petahertz processors used to capture this?

And we still can’t find the pipe bomber

@ShadowbannedRep Ok wait Didn’t they just prove you can move faster than the speed of light? The camera shutter moves faster than light or it could not do what it claims.

Mr. Roemmele, are you familiar with the book Redshift Rendezvous? "The environment aboard a hyperspace craft is quite safe as long as you are careful. The management reminds you that the speed of light on board this craft is ten meters per second, or about 30 million times slower than what you are used to. This means you will frequently encounter relativistic effects and optical illusions." ...

this is awesome

observation perspective (dimension psychology) is an interesting theory in human behavior also
