I don’t think many people realise how fast 10 trillion frames per second really is. Let me give you some perspective- In 1 second the camera will capture 10,000,000,000,000 frames. Doing the math, (at regular speed 30fps) that amounts to an almost incomprehensible 10,570 YEARS worth of footage! And that is just in 1 second.
@Andy your phone does, the backlight of your display sends out photons through the piece of glass of your phone(or monitor) that you rely on to view your content.
I just came across from the video of Verisatium, saying that this kind of experiment is a two-way measurement (like the light that travel from A to B and the light going to lenses of the camera). He added that no one really measure one-way (hence, no one exactly knows the exact speed of light). I find it so fascinating. My mind blown.
I’m trying to figure out how it is posible too. I’ve watched Versatium’s video and he said clearly that doing this way the measurement, the real speed of light can’t be measured, my mind is blowing now.
@@haroldy.estrada9391 That's why they are shooting the beam of light through water bottles and dairy milk. Light slows down depending on what it's traveling through, so they slow light down just a fraction in order for it to show up on camera. You couldn't film light going it's true speed because cameras need to absorb that light in order to create the picture, so the camera would be taking pics faster than light can move.
I don't know if i'm missing something here. But isn't it the basic principle of seeing?..light reflects from something and falls on your eye or camera lense and it sees.. How can you catch something that is allowing you to see in the first place.
@@someonenoone6653 exactly. That's why no one really measures the exact speed. When we try to measure the speed of the light, we are going to use our eyes or camera and in order to measure that, we use our eyes or camera lens, light also travels to our eyes/camera lens while measuring (that will affect how we measure the speed of the light). Isn't it fascinating? Lol
Seems clear to me that you CAN measure the one-way speed of light. The light travels along a linear path with distance markers. Count the frames, measure how far the light travelled, and do the math. If the tiny variation in distance from the light to the camera (or in the lens, etc) would slightly stretch the timing, then adjust for it with the math - these are known variables! It's true that by the time the first few frames of light movement actually gets to the camera, the experiment might already be over. But that just means all frames are equally delayed (no matter what the speed is from experiment to camera). In my view, how can we say this is not an accurate way to measure the one-way speed of light? If the key factor is EXACT speed, then forget about it. Nothing can ever be measured EXACTLY.
This experiment is good for the study of Light and Lazers. Thank you so much. I'm sure you have gone in depth to eloborate extensively, scientific points.
11:37 "On this scale of time, if we fired a bullet through this frame, it would take a years to go from one side to the other". The best part of this video 😮
Let’s see. Based on the legend that’s about 17mm across; 50 light-picoseconds is about 15mm. So call it 16mm, which is 0.05 ft. A bullet traveling at 2500 ft/sec could thus travel that distance in 0.00002 seconds. Which is 20 microseconds, 20,000 nanoseconds, or 20,000,000 picoseconds. This video is slowed down to about 10 picoseconds per second so it would take about 2,000,000 seconds for the bullet to go by, which is “only” a bit over 23 days.
The idea is based on a "streak camera", but extended in to 2D instead of 1D. They take a single image which captures some tiny duration of light propagation, but its time domain is spread across a spatial domain, so they essentially turn time into space, so it does not require an ultrafast processor. The resulting video is produced after the fact, based on the data captured.
@@bladepanthera Since we can't actually measure the speed of light atm that is the closest thing we can do, guestimate. Still mighty impressive what a gigabrain thought that up.

Incredible frames! I wish I could see somehow what happens at normal speed first, then appreciate the slow mode to better understand the dynamics of the tiny beam of light. Maybe was just impossible to do. Thank you Slow Mo’s!!
At normal speed it just looked like a beam of light directed at the object because we couldn't see it pulsing at hundreds of millions of times a second (or whatever the rate was) without the camera.
@@irigm6132 I'm pretty sure it's not just one lens, it's at least 5-6 to a ton more synchronized so perfectly against a mirror it looks like one camera. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong
@@clashmastr9895 when light pass through liquid it effect it's speed but still very much faster than anything in the world. If they had used multiple lenses and liquid many more transparent material still camera system is not fast enough to catch it, camera internal system which create frame works on electronic devices and speed of electron are too slow compare to light.

Unfortunately I don't think Gav and Dan really understand that this technique does _NOT_ involve real-time frames-per-second. It's a series of stills, with the timing advanced so many picoseconds for each successive shot. The record for _real_ -time successive fps is ~25 million and that's a framing-camera, technically, not a motion-picture camera. The fastest true motion-picture fps is 10 million fps, by Shimadzu's latest iteration of their HPV-X2 system.

I don’t think many people realise how fast 10 trillion frames per second really is.
Let me give you some perspective-
In 1 second the camera will capture 10,000,000,000,000 frames. Doing the math, (at regular speed 30fps) that amounts to an almost incomprehensible
10,570 YEARS worth of footage!
And that is just in 1 second.

I just came across from the video of Verisatium, saying that this kind of experiment is a two-way measurement (like the light that travel from A to B and the light going to lenses of the camera). He added that no one really measure one-way (hence, no one exactly knows the exact speed of light). I find it so fascinating. My mind blown.
I’m trying to figure out how it is posible too. I’ve watched Versatium’s video and he said clearly that doing this way the measurement, the real speed of light can’t be measured, my mind is blowing now.
@@haroldy.estrada9391 That's why they are shooting the beam of light through water bottles and dairy milk. Light slows down depending on what it's traveling through, so they slow light down just a fraction in order for it to show up on camera. You couldn't film light going it's true speed because cameras need to absorb that light in order to create the picture, so the camera would be taking pics faster than light can move.
I don't know if i'm missing something here.
But isn't it the basic principle of seeing?..light reflects from something and falls on your eye or camera lense and it sees..
How can you catch something that is allowing you to see in the first place.
@@someonenoone6653 exactly. That's why no one really measures the exact speed. When we try to measure the speed of the light, we are going to use our eyes or camera and in order to measure that, we use our eyes or camera lens, light also travels to our eyes/camera lens while measuring (that will affect how we measure the speed of the light). Isn't it fascinating? Lol
Seems clear to me that you CAN measure the one-way speed of light. The light travels along a linear path with distance markers. Count the frames, measure how far the light travelled, and do the math. If the tiny variation in distance from the light to the camera (or in the lens, etc) would slightly stretch the timing, then adjust for it with the math - these are known variables! It's true that by the time the first few frames of light movement actually gets to the camera, the experiment might already be over. But that just means all frames are equally delayed (no matter what the speed is from experiment to camera). In my view, how can we say this is not an accurate way to measure the one-way speed of light? If the key factor is EXACT speed, then forget about it. Nothing can ever be measured EXACTLY.
This experiment is good for the study of Light and Lazers. Thank you so much. I'm sure you have gone in depth to eloborate extensively, scientific points.

EMK that part blew my mind
Got me too
to be exactly accurate 317,098 calendar years
Is flash that faster?
Let’s see. Based on the legend that’s about 17mm across; 50 light-picoseconds is about 15mm. So call it 16mm, which is 0.05 ft. A bullet traveling at 2500 ft/sec could thus travel that distance in 0.00002 seconds. Which is 20 microseconds, 20,000 nanoseconds, or 20,000,000 picoseconds. This video is slowed down to about 10 picoseconds per second so it would take about 2,000,000 seconds for the bullet to go by, which is “only” a bit over 23 days.

Coolest thing I've seen on TH-cam in a long time no pun intended. I need Brian Green's comments on this relative to time dilation
Really curious how they actually measure it, this is way faster than any existing microprocessor clock cycle.
The idea is based on a "streak camera", but extended in to 2D instead of 1D. They take a single image which captures some tiny duration of light propagation, but its time domain is spread across a spatial domain, so they essentially turn time into space, so it does not require an ultrafast processor. The resulting video is produced after the fact, based on the data captured.
@@BrianPeirisif this is correct, this is incredible. I need to go and look this up. I'm constantly amazed at the creativity of inventions.
@@bladepanthera Since we can't actually measure the speed of light atm that is the closest thing we can do, guestimate. Still mighty impressive what a gigabrain thought that up.
and to think we have to measure the universe in a scale called “light years”, makes you really think about how enormous the universe actually is.
It gets even more mind-blowing when you think about the fact that the observable universe is 93 billion light years across. Keep in mind that it's only the observable part.
@@swanihilator6748 yep, i personally believe that matter goes on forever. Considering it would be scientifically impossible for matter itself to have an end.
@@zxckon It goes on forever. But, then there's not enough heat displacement throughout the universe, and all life that relies on heat in some way ceases to exist.
@@swanihilator6748 And to think there are billions upon billions of 'Earth-like' planets that are within observable galaxies. I mean, the universe is so massive it can take several decades to reach one point to another, even while traveling at light speed.

First time for gav having to be explained how a camera works. Don't see that too often!
As if that wasn't just for the audience.
would be nice
Unfortunately I don't think Gav and Dan really understand that this technique does _NOT_ involve real-time frames-per-second. It's a series of stills, with the timing advanced so many picoseconds for each successive shot.
The record for _real_ -time successive fps is ~25 million and that's a framing-camera, technically, not a motion-picture camera. The fastest true motion-picture fps is 10 million fps, by Shimadzu's latest iteration of their HPV-X2 system.

@@Ketoswammy
That is because Macs are made by Apple and Apple keep their products extremely minimalistic. There is literary nothing worth copying as doing so would be a downgrade due to removing features to fit the Apple theme.
Keep in mind that it's the reflection that arrive to the camera. Due light nature, we cant see it if a fraction doesnt reflect to the camera. That is the reason for the 'strange shape'.
Tell me we have finally measured speed of light, without any flaws.
