This is so incredibly awesome, I have no words for it. No words at all.

I sent the link to my photographer friend. Her husband moves so fast onstage, he tends to blur. 

[Forsooth]

this is awesome

First thing that pops into my mind is using this technique to find where the current flaws in laser ignition for nuclear fusion, but could be expensive due to the number of shots and fuel needed to get a good visible picture

Wow, as a CG Lighting artist this is some seriously impressive shit. Thanks for sharing Garbo!

Sweet Eris's blood soaked pinky toes. Did you catch what he said at the end there?

It took about 5 turns in my head to re-phrase outside of the realm of femto-potographic packets of photons (jeez, can I juse call them wavicles already?). Ready for this? [Note: As a holy man, I am not resposible for seizures caused by considering this new information.]



Realy serves you (a photoreceptor) information asynchroniously to the order that the events/phenomena happen in space-time. This holds true at the micro and macro levels the most. At our daily scales, the ammount of information proccessed from second to second tends to blur these asychronicities out into a smooth narrative. Past our daily scales (the local light radius) information tends to be more randomly out of synch with the order of events which served to transmit that information.

Wow... that is FUCKING AWESOME.

Yeah, no, I totally caught that and then my mind went OFUK! and I immediately stopped thinking about it. It needs to exist in my brain without analysis or evaluation until I have enough data to start making actual connections. BUT it may be relevant to some neurology studies I am only half-remembering.

[Pæs]

That is scary awesome.

Laymen's terms, we experience/perceive things in a certain order but it's really not sequential???

OH NO! OBJECTIVISM ROONT

The order that we perceive information about our environment is not the order the events generating the information happened in. But small time shifts, and we get info packets at an astonishing rate of trillions of times a second.

Small time shifts makes it a little less boggling. Thanks.

That is so, so cool.  I wish they hadn't "fixed" the last photo, where the light went away from the viewer, because I just think it was better when light doesn't do what you think it ought to, what with people living in macro and light, well, doesn't.

[LMNO]

Well said! We'll make a particle physicist out of you yet, by god!
