Light In Motion
Light, moving at a blistering 300,000 km per second is one of if not the fastest thing known to mankind. Ramesh Raskar, a professor at MIT, and his team set out to capture light in its motion. Inspired by Harold Edgerton, another MIT professor who, back in 1964 took a famous picture of a bullet exiting an apple. This photo was shot at 1,000,000 frames per second.
Ramesh Raskar wanted to take photography to another level. He set out to make a camera that could record a million times faster hen Raskar's.
As said in the following video, this technology can be implemented to be able to see around corners, look inside humans without the use of x-rays and more. This new kind of photography is called femto-photograph and will drastically change the way we see the world.
