  • www.ted.com Ramesh Raskar presents femto-photography, a new type of imaging so fast it visualizes the world one trillion frames per second, so detailed it shows light itself in motion. This technology may someday be used to build cameras that can look "around" corners or see inside the body without X-rays.
    TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts.

      They didn't use a laser but white light. The light would have dispersed when it hit the bottle and then water. The shape of the 'bullet' of light is also wrong and should have the same cross section from front to back. The shape of the 'bullet' of light seems to change along the length of the bottle indicating that the separate photons have different light speeds? How is it possible to switch the source light on and off in such a short time? (approx 10e-11s)? Its amazing every comment here praises the experiment without question. In my opinion the experiment was contrived and animated. Coolest TED talk? More like coolest TED lies!

    • @michaelblair5146

      yeah, I realied a possible use after watching this. on a galactic level, consider gamma ray bursts or other frequency light distributions that occur from bursts or explosions of stars. if you were a neigh omnipotent existence with unlimited computational potential you could scientifically use this strategy to map sectors of the galaxy. Sure, the immediate few light years are destroyed to generate the power needed for the scan, as well as the star itself, or even potentially not. he'll, you could scan an area of space and use the refracted back light to tell you about what existed there if you are some 4th dimensional existence where time isn't felt as linear. it wouldn't matter by the time it reached bounced off the planet and reached back to you it was destroyed/the planets relative time everything on it was long dead, you could still access it by "pulling up" that snapshot of space to explore the data set further. Especially if you could interpret everything as data and reverse it back into what it was with perfect comprehension.

      They don't capture very many images. They may only capture about 100 images in total (I'm just saying 100 as an example. I don't know how many). Our own brain can comprehend about 24 frames per second, so 100 frames can produce a smooth 4 second video for us. Hope this makes sense.

      Not exactly true, the human brain interprets visual motion with a frequency of around 7-24 Hz. However, when interpreting visual information, some studies have shown that certain individuals (trained fighter pilots) can interpret what is presented to them visually in 1/220th of a second. This corresponds to 220 fps. The brain doesn't process "frames" but more or less direct light, so it's a tricky question. This website does a good job explaining it:

    This is groundbreaking and I can't believe I hadn't seen it until now! We really need to reevaluate our priorities as a species; I'd much rather have seen this on CNN than Justin Bieber's latest offense. That was the day I quit going to them for news.
    Also, notice how you can't see the light until it refracts through the medium? In other words, if there hadn't been a water bottle in the way we would never have seen the pulse. This is obvious to most, but it is fascinating to actually see it in action!! Astounding...

Bullet through Apple, coke bottle, tomato, looking around corners... Everyone awes at the demonstration, but I hope this is being developed and grown, and not just the same old experiments repeated for the next video crew to film. One thing that _has_ come true, is that mobile devices have gotten cameras that arent just more megapixels, but record in much lower levels of light and at much higher frame rates. Good to see that prediction come to fruition.

    There's something we should all understand before watching this video. We're not really observing a moving photon, that would be phisically impossible.
    Cameras produce images from the information given by the photons that the recorded object emits. We simply can't see a moving photon because the camera needs to obtain these information (given by the photons themselves) in order to build the image, and it'd be necessary to have "something" faster than the photon the camera is "recording" in order to "see" it, so, it's meaningless trying to "record" a photon with a camera .
    In this universe, the speed of light is a physical limit, it's impossible to overcome it beacuse that's the speed a particle can reach if it gets INFINITE energy. It is possible to get closer to it, we can reach 90% of it with a really huge amount of energy, with a way more huge amount of energy we'd reach 99%, then 99,9%, 99,99%... 99,99999999%, but we would never ever reach 100% or more; it would be necessary an infinite amount of energy. What we're seeing here is a complex reconstruction of photon trajectory after shooting millions of them. Something quite remarkable and interesting, no doubt of it. But it's certainly not "a single moving photon".
    So, it's meaningless to "prove this technology with the double slit experiment", although it can seem very interesting.

      crlsprz11 yeah I agree.....it's just a complesx reconstruction of photons trajectories over millions of time....hey I want to know does it makes some compromise on creating image of event because physical information get changed every time a photon hit matter and it can't detact all of it.....is it so?🤔

      crlsprz11 i didn’t bother to read your whole comment because just the first paragraph was enough to get the gist. You have no idea what the technology and instrumentations that are being used by his “camera”. It may not be camera like at all and he just uses that terminology so the average person can understand. There are probably no frames involved but only and a terminology used so that he could equate the math and the speed difference to the masses. Once you actually know what this is that is capturing the imagine then rewrite your comment. You have made a lot of assumptions about something he has said absolutely nothing about.

      No, it is not impossible to photograph a bundle of photons because as that bundle travels, as they have done with the laser burst through water, the photons reaching the camera to create the image are showing the larger bundle of photons they came from itself. Nowhere is he claiming it is a single photon in the coke bottle slow mo.

      Duh. He said it was millions of tries and stitched together. Why did you think we didn't know?

    What a coincidence. My children are named, Atto, Femto, Pico, Nano, Micro and Milli.
    Funny story: Milli is the only one who doesn't get teased about her name.

    2021 here calling 2012: What happened? Narcissistic selfies instead of femto photography has ruined the world.
