Science is Fun Fridays!

 


The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second.

The Slo Mo Guys have a You Tube channel where they've filmed various actions in slow motion, such as firing bullets and getting a tattoo.

But they also captured the speed of light, using specialized equipment from CalTech.

"We've filmed at some very high frame rates.  We're talking up to about half a million... Their camera puts ours to shame and does ten trillion frames per second."

Postdoctoral scholar, Peng Weng, assured them they'd be able to see light moving the length of a bottle.


More recently, they posted about how the Nintendo Zapper worked.


I can still hear the dog laughing at me.
