♫ ♫ (Something a Bit Different)
I’m doing something just a little bit different tonight with my music post. My friend, Ali, sent me this and I thought it was simply too good to pass up. I’ve always loved Elton John, and this shows just what a truly talented man of music he is!
From a piece in Upworthy …
Musical geniuses take on many forms. But the ones who can seemingly pluck inspiration right out of the imaginary realm and…

MIT’s Trillion-Frames-Per-Second Camera Can Capture Light As It Travels! "There's Nothing In The Universe That Looks Fast To This Camera."
— By Tod Perry | Upworthy Staff | April 22, 2024
Photo from YouTube video. Photographing the path of light.
A new camera developed at MIT can photograph a trillion frames per second.
Compare that with a traditional movie camera which takes a mere 24. This new advancement in photographic technology has given scientists the ability to photograph the movement of the fastest thing in the Universe, light.
The actual event occurred in a nano second, but the camera has the ability to slow it down to twenty seconds.
The amazing camera. Photo from YouTube video.
For some perspective, according to New York Times writer, John Markoff, "If a bullet were tracked in the same fashion moving through the same fluid, the resulting movie would last three years."
In the video below, you'll see experimental footage of light photons traveling 600-million-miles-per-hour through water.
It's impossible to directly record light so the camera takes millions of scans to recreate each image. The process has been called femto-photography and according to Andrea Velten, a researcher involved with the project, "There's nothing in the universe that looks fast to this camera."

Kelvin Ellis, nine years old, is the boy who was willing to give his only dollar to a homeless man. Here’s the…
