“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...

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?

"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.
