    Default Ultra-high-speed camera captures light in motion

    With some computational tricks as I understand, but it looks convincing.

    That is fascinating. I love how it looks with the ripples over the wall and tomato. Thanks!

    It takes only a nanosecond — a billionth of a second — for light to flash through the bottle. But MIT said it takes researchers about an hour to collect all the data necessary to assemble a video showing the movement of that light.
    From here.

    Very cool to watch. It astounds me that it's possible to assemble it at all, let alone that it only takes an hour to do so.
    So now they are just dirt-covered English people in fur pelts with credit cards.
