Ramesh Raskar: Imaging at a trillion frames per second
TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) ^ | July 2012

Posted on 11/22/2013 4:04:45 PM PST by BulletBobCo

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.

Photography is about creating images by recording light. At the MIT media lab, professor Ramesh Raskar and his team members have invented a camera that can photograph light itself as it moves at, well, the speed of light.

That’s still slower than the amount of time it takes a liberal to scream racism when Obama is criticized.

“O..”

“RACISM!”

All the people in these Ted Talks kind of act the same. I wonder if they are given acting lessons on how to gesture and move before they go on.

Thanks BulletBobCo, a nice extra to APoD (despite a lack of pics in the thread), much deserved since I assed off and had to post two days’ worth of APoDs at the same time.

Definitely above my job classification but still fascinating......

I'm sure we would all be amazed at what is going on behind closed doors in laboratories across this country if they opened their doors to the public......

I think that’s been done already, in Caddy Shack, in the pool ... and not a Baby Ruth.

"All the people in these Ted Talks kind of act the same. I wonder if they are given acting lessons on how to gesture and move before they go on."

They are coached. Some are experienced speakers and others have accomplished something remarkable but have never spoken in public before. There was a great article in HBR recently about helping them prepare: How to Give a Killer Presentation

The True Image of Obama?

That’s easy, a Muslim who loves and supports Muslim terrorists. He gives them money and US weapons to kill others. Hussein is destroying America $1 Trillion at a time.

Who told you Hussein is a Christian? Hussein did, why would anyone believe anything Hussein Obama says? He lies like, well, a Muslim terrorist.

Do you believe the MSM? They told you Hussein Obama is a Christian. Who would be stupid enough to believe anything the MSM says?

What credible source tells you that Hussein Obama is not a Muslim working for Muslim terrorists? There is not one bit of information that supports the notion Hussein Obama is not doing everything he can to create havoc and destroy America.

You don’t need to have a high speed camera to figure out who Hussein Obama is, just don’t listen to Hussein Obama nor the government controlled media. Then it becomes obvious who Hussein Obama is working for.
