Imaging at a trillion frames per second | Ramesh Raskar

[sayanneogy]

It took YouTube 7 years to recommend me this??? This is one of the greatest thing a human can see in their whole lifetime!!!

[icantthinkofaname]

As a PC gamer I can confirm that if you play under a trillion frames per second, you're a filthy casual

[davidgounden]

And I still can’t get 60 frames on a dam PlayStation

Screw scientific applications. I can finally take a picture of my wife with her mouth shut. My life is now complete.

2012: we have trillion fps camera, soon in your phone
2019, Iphone: can't adjust the camera settings yet.. we chose you 4:3

[papicholo]

TED: imaging a trillion frames per second

Console players: but...but the eyes can only see 60 frames per second

This is the most incredible thing I've ever seen!  But why aren't they redoing the double-slit experiment?  I would love to see wave-particle duality in action.  From what I can tell here, it's less a duality and more... splashy.

And why am I just now hearing about this?  This is from 2012!  People should have been stopping me in the street to tell me about this.

7 years and this is still the coolest TED talk

[TheFable]

this just blew my mind and it happened 6 years ago.... how has nobody told me this
Edit: oh yeah I have no friends

[benjaminwebb]

I told my dad that if the sun went dark we wouldn't know it for 8 minutes. His response was, "why did you have to tell me that".
Science is a passion for me. This is a revelation. We see light with our eyes as being instantaneous but it's not. It's one of the fundamental things people should know.

[ProfRamsay]

Dude(speaking from future 2019), you talk of changing the future, but no one knows about this

[DevyaniPatil]

So YouTube basically decided to recommend this to me in 2019

[DyingToLive]

Who the hell was his audience? These people just saw the speed of light, the fastest speed there is in our world. And they saw it slowed down enough to see it move in SLOW MOTION! Do they not understand what they just saw? The audience at the iPhone 5 was more excited than these people. This is easily one of the most incredible advances in science! The ability to see the speed of light... it's pretty fucking awesome people, get hype!

[Valentinez]

Its 2018 and I just saw this. What has happened since then and why people aren't aware of this? Shouldn't it have been plastered all over the news as a major breakthrough? Or I was just living under a rock this whole time ...

[dpkdz]

Me : see how much the technology has improved today.

Also me : wait.. it's 7 years old

[AdMBandLeader]

A talk from 2012 and it's 2019 now. 7 years hence, no implementation of this tech. Something's wrong with either the tech itself or the people who pass patents.

[djrezafication]

They aren't really taking a video of a single event. They are repeating the event a trillion times and taking frames at different instances in time to get one full event. So if you think you can use this as a slow-mo camera to capture a water balloon bursting, you better have a LOT of water balloons...

[Barnacules]

Now put this in a smartphone so my laser pointer looks like a light saber!

[cometwo]

A well deserved standing ovation. We can hardly imagine what we may discover by observing light in slow motion.

2019 viewer here. That last line, "It's about time", did not get enough credit
