This guy created a camera that was built to capture at 2 billion frames per second and showed us light traveling. Really cool stuff.

YouTuber AlphaPhoenix pulled off something that sounds impossible. He recorded a laser moving across a room at 2 billion frames per second. That is fast enough to watch light itself travel, something the human eye can never perceive in real time. The camera he used was not a normal high speed camera. It recorded only one pixel at a time. To build a full video, he fired the laser again and again, each time recording a single pixel from a slightly different point. After thousands of captures, he stitched the pixels together into a full frame sequence that reveals the light wave moving through space. It is a mind bending mix of physics and creativity. The end result lets us watch one of the fastest phenomena in the universe at a speed we can finally understand.

This is one of the most mind-blowing things you’ll EVER see. (And I swear to G-D if this post only gets a few thousand views on X, then X is simply not fit for purpose for anything. Because this is something everyone should see and be blown away by) You’re watching a laser beam move in real time… at 2 billion frames per second. Light only travels about 15 cm (6 inches) in each frame. That’s why you can actually see the beam crawl across the room, bounce off the mirrors, and come back. Now watch carefully when the camera position changes… The light going away from the camera suddenly looks slow. The light coming toward the camera looks almost instant. It looks like the speed of light is changing. It’s not. You’re seeing the finite speed of light itself. The camera is literally recording the PAST at different moments depending on how far the light has to travel to reach the sensor. This isn’t CGI. This isn’t a simulation. This is a homemade camera filming actual photons. Full credit, and huge respect, to AlphaPhoenix Alpha Phoenix Channel

My camera was shooting still images at 30 frames per second, so I put them all together into a video of the snowy owl's flight. I used Final Cut Pro to slow the video to 25% using machine learning analysis to smooth the movement. It actually came out pretty well.

THE VEGAS SPHERE MAKES REALITY LOOK LOW-RES The Las Vegas Sphere isn’t just a giant screen - it’s the largest screen ever built, 20x bigger than IMAX, powered by a custom-made 18K Big Sky camera that burns 60GB per second. Yes, per second. It also hides 167,000 speakers behind the screen - plus 8 speakers per seat for audio so immersive it makes reality look low-res. Oh, and it can play multiple languages at once, depending on your seat. Welcome to the future of sensory overload. Source: Viral Maniacs
