Brian Haidet's experiment captures laser beams at 2 billion frames per second, revealing how light appears to travel faster towards the camera due to an artifact related to special relativity, achieved through a highly upgraded setup.
Rumors suggest ARRI may unveil the ALEXA 35 Xtreme, a high-speed camera capable of capturing footage at 500 fps or more, building on the current ALEXA 35's capabilities, to meet the growing demand for ultra-slow-motion and high-frame-rate cinematography.
Popular YouTubers, The Slow Mo Guys, known for capturing slow-motion footage, have managed to film the speed of light using a high-speed camera that shoots at an incredible 10 trillion frames per second. With the help of specialist equipment at CalTech, they were able to see light moving the length of a bottle in 2,000 picoseconds of footage. The impressive technology and editing skills showcased in the video have left viewers in awe of humanity's ability to capture such phenomena.
A high-speed camera that records at 40,000 frames per second has captured a photo revealing how lightning rods behave. The image shows several lightning rods attempting to connect with a negatively charged lightning bolt that was nearing the ground at 230 miles per second. The lightning strike actually connects with a smokestack on top of one of the buildings and not one of the 30 lightning rods that are in the vicinity. On average, 20% of all lightning strikes involve an exchange of electrical discharges between clouds and the ground with the other 80% occurring inside clouds.
