what with people living in macro and light, well, doesn't.

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

Balls.  I just want to know if this camera is fast enough to:

1.  Make shit DECIDE IF IT'S A PARTICLE OR A WAVE, and also

2.  Catch Remington on film.

1.  It looks like a wave...

2. Sadly, I don't think so.

It would prove conclusively if oswald acted alone or not. But yeah this might have some interesting implications for video evidence.

It's kind of less than I was hoping for when I read the description though. If it can catch a packet of light traveling through a bottle, why does it not catch the light in mid-step traveling from the object to the camera?

The image you are seeing is only the photons which have "bounced" and then hit the camera-sensor. (So the "waves" on the table are actually photons bounced from the initial-packet through the water, through the plastic, off the table, and then to the camera senor...) What's it going to bounce off?
