"OK...who the invented the modern strobe light?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MIT's Doctor Harold Edgerton -- who first "froze" the image of a splash of milk (and became known as, "Doc Flash").
"Doc" went on to invent side-scan and sub-bottom-profiling SONAR.
And, "Doc" was the first "E" in EG&G -- Edgerton, Germeshausen & Grier -- the company that invented and did many classified things. Among which was much of the instrumentation of all of our nuclear tests.
It was my personal pleasure to meet "Doc" at EG&G (next door to the original "Radio Shack" in Boston...

I went to a lecture he gave to the Neucomen Society, held at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT. He showed some of his work [old-fashioned slides IIRC.
Brilliant man; body of his lecture was his exploration of Loch Ness; he explained that he was a true *unbeliever*, as am I.
Well, as he told his tale, and showed some of his strobe images, and further how he became of believer of how something is down there.
There is no reason, not to believe that his images were not authentic.
Impressive man. Did MIT proud.
