Big Bang would have been God getting the first nut.

Fake news. Light just is, it doesnt travel. In the Bible, God said "Let there be light" not "Light, get moving".

Good enough for me. This is a bunch of socialist claptrap so Nancy Pelosi can take my money.

So the bajillions of dollars it cost in government grants to build that camera and see light travel what ground breaking did we learn and how will that help humanity in the future...light is fast AF. Yep, that's probably it.

How did they choose milk?


It's water with a little milk in it, so the light could reflect off the milk particles. I assume it would be less visible in just plain water.

David Attenborough will be using this same camera to film hummingbirds on Planet Earth 3.

Watch the link slackster posted. It goes into the practical uses of this camera technology.

IF that is all we learned, we still have new technology to be able to do that which could lead to new discoveries in medicine, space travel, or something completely unheard of uet.

Some people are so short sighted

To put that in perspective - at that frame rate it would would take several years to watch a bullet pass through the same millimeter.

"If someone is watching it" just means it is interacting with other light, aka the light particles/waves are being influenced by other light particles/waves

I know this is one of the biggest questions in science, just seems like we should know if light is a particle or wave (or have the math to describe it as one or the other) by now

You've got to wonder what the practical applications of 1 trillion frames per second (or quadrillion) will be.
