MIT's 1 trillion fps camera can film light in motion.

That's unbelievable

this doesn't even make sense. what signal is being received by the camera if not light. maybe it is iterated many times and different moments are captured and recombined

that's exactly how it works, it's not possible to capture the path of individual photons, due to the uncertainty principle. if you know their position you don't know where they're going and vice versa. there ARE devices that can see photons tho

Nothing can travel faster than light.

In order to slow down light, you have to travel faster than light.

How is that possible? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

incorrect. the correct way to describe it is that the camera is fast enough to watch a pulse of laser light travel a few millimetres between frames

i call hacks

First time we can see quantum mechanics at work. Wow!
