Modern technology has revolutionized many facets of life, but as much as any area, photography has gone bananas with high-speed photos and films. As long ago as the 1960s, scientists and engineers figured out how to take pictures at one million frames per second. Now, fifty years later, there is a camera that is one million times faster than that! Yes, one trillion frames per second. Check out this TED talk to see what it can do, where is actually follows a pulse of light itself...you can see a light pulse move. I find this unbelievable, and truly fascinating. Our ability to view Nature at this level has opened our eyes to details of all sorts of phenomena we could not dream of just a few years ago.
