“World’s fastest camera freezes time at 10 trillion frames per second”

That’s dividing a second into 10,000 billion pieces, or 10,000 x 1,000 million pieces.

In scientific notation, that's 10^-13.

Still, it’s not even close to the “Plank Time”(5.39 × 10^-44).

“In quantum mechanics, the Planck time (tP) is the unit of time in the system of natural units known as Planck units. A Planck unit is the time required for light to travel in a vacuum a distance of 1 Planck length, which is approximately 5.39 × 10^-44 s.[1] The unit is named after Max Planck, who was the first to propose it.

The Planck time is defined as:[2]”

The fastest time ever recorded was the time between the light turning green and the idiot behind you is on his horn. /s

Technology continues to accelerate its advance.

Between that and the 24 hour news cycle people are having a lot of mental problems.

Jinyang Liang. He and his colleagues, led by Caltech’s Lihong Wang,

So China already has this tech then...

That’s like really really really really really really really really really fast.

But then you still have to wait a week before the prints are ready at the drugstore.

Tesla, Einstein, and Edison were at a bar.

Einstein says I can freeze that image in a billionth of a second.

Tesla says I can freeze that image in a trillionth of a second.

Edison says I can freeze that image in a quadrillionth of a second.

Albert and Nikolai turn to Edison and say "Thomas freeze that image"

That’s amazing. Years ago, I worked on weapons’ ranges where our high-speed video was 120k per second. That was fast enough to watch the spark of ignition on a block of C-4, see the blast wave propagate, hit the ground and bounce upward.

This advance is equivalent to moving from driving an oxen to riding a rocket. The possible applications are staggering.

Angels do their thing in between frames.

I would like to see similar work done with audio, so we can hear the pattern of a spider’s walk. Is it perfect 1/8 time?

Sure, just choose from the billion prints.
I suppose you could get wallet size...

"10 trillion frames per second”

Sort of like a photo story in DailyMail. /sarc

The Planck Epoch is that period from the Big Bang until the time passed was equal to the Planck time. I refer to everything before one Planck unit as God.

There used to be a TV show called “Name That Tune”.

Contestants would Say I can name that tune in 7 Notes, the other would say 6 on and on.

The person with the lowest bid of notes would get the chance to name the song in x number of notes and win prizes.

Only old farts get it.
