      the dumb thing is that this camera doesn't do any of this like a normal camera. it records a little of the image sequentially for each several Pico seconds. then it moves a mirror and does it all over again with the next laser pulse a couple Pico seconds later. it's not actually filming at those speeds, it's reconstructing what it would look like to film at those speeds.

      Let’s see. Based on the legend that’s about 17mm across; 50 light-picoseconds is about 15mm. So call it 16mm, which is 0.05 ft. A bullet traveling at 2500 ft/sec could thus travel that distance in 0.00002 seconds. Which is 20 microseconds, 20,000 nanoseconds, or 20,000,000 picoseconds. This video is slowed down to about 10 picoseconds per second so it would take about 2,000,000 seconds for the bullet to go by, which is “only” a bit over 23 days.

    • @JohnFRodgers
      @JohnFRodgers Рік тому

      Seems clear to me that you CAN measure the one-way speed of light. The light travels along a linear path with distance markers. Count the frames, measure how far the light travelled, and do the math. If the tiny variation in distance from the light to the camera (or in the lens, etc) would slightly stretch the timing, then adjust for it with the math - these are known variables! It's true that by the time the first few frames of light movement actually gets to the camera, the experiment might already be over. But that just means all frames are equally delayed (no matter what the speed is from experiment to camera). In my view, how can we say this is not an accurate way to measure the one-way speed of light? If the key factor is EXACT speed, then forget about it. Nothing can ever be measured EXACTLY.

      The idea is based on a "streak camera", but extended in to 2D instead of 1D. They take a single image which captures some tiny duration of light propagation, but its time domain is spread across a spatial domain, so they essentially turn time into space, so it does not require an ultrafast processor. The resulting video is produced after the fact, based on the data captured.

      I think you're right that the light has to bounce off the milk and scatter towards the camera which takes additional time, but that's happening continuously as the beam travels from left to right so although there is an additional delay, I don't think it changes the overall *rate*. Therefore I disagree, I think we are actually seeing "the speed of light".

    Where's the beef/photon? Are they filming the light in different takes like the guys at MIT, because it looks like this is one take. That's pretty impressive. But, it looks more like that what we are seeing is the wake light makes as it travels through/across a medium.. It seems more like filming the effects of light reflecting than actually filming what light is. I wish they would have filmed a laser traveling through fog or smoke. That would have been cool too!

    So, how many photons are we seeing in the image? The one that impressed me the most is the pulse of light bouncing back and forth between the mirrors. This technology might be able to catch the interval between the moment the traffic light turns green and the guy behind you honks his horn.

      What would also be good is to use their techniques to visualize what actually goes on in the famous (infamous?) Two Slit Experiment. Perhaps capture the moment a single photon travels through both slits at the same time. If that actually happens. It may be found that a totally different mechanism is at play.

      Unfortunately, that's not possible - the technique requires exceptionally precise timing between the light pulse and the camera, which can only currently be achieved using lasers (which only emit a single wavelength and thus have no spectrum to split).

    • @alelokox88

      It will be invisible(or a straight pass) because the camera records only in the wavelength of the laser.

      @@VeryUsefulGadgets edit: for all confusing people there, I’m rewording it, so if we say that we freeze world that much that in 6 seconds for our perception would pass 50 picoseconds for surrounding world, the ratio per second would be 8.33 picoseconds of surrounding world per 1 second of our perception, now we take 1 real second and divide it by 8.33 picoseconds which would be 0.12 seconds that would be difference between speed of our perception and time that would go, so it would be in picoseconds 120000000000 which for us would be like seconds, now if we convert it into a years it would be 3805 years for our perception, so yeah technically its cap but practically if you would be in freezing time you will go insane and loose count.
