It's quite fascinating. I don't think I have seen light travel in this way, and it makes sense that the delay varies. It all fits well together with science.

This guy is ridiculously intelligent. It’s crazy to know that there are over 3 million White people who reach an IQ of at least 130 or higher in the U.S..
No wonder White folks dominated every industry on the planet when meritocracy thrived in the west. I’m not a retard, or at least I wasn’t a retard before my brain took some damage from fighting and drug use in my younger years, but either way, this guy makes me feel retarded. It’s one thing to fully grasp everything the content creator in this vid is saying, it’s a whole other thing to be able to design and build a camera system like this dude built. Crazy shit. There’s another channel on YouTube called Nile Red, it’s young kid’s channel but like this dude, he has a brilliant mind for science. All of Nile’s vids are focused on chemistry, worth watching if you like this sort of content.

These people's talent is wasted on Youtube. Like instead of applying himself in a lab towards a real problem, he's fucking around with budget electronics in his ramshackle garage chasing Youtube views. If he spends his entire life on Youtube doing this, is he ever going to create or invent anything worthwhile? I won't even say "probably not", I'm going to say "definitively not".
What he did in this video is super cool. It's also super useless. He didn't discover anything we haven't already known and anyone with a degree in photonics couldn't have described. It's an awesome parlor trick.
Like if Nikolai Tesla had a Youtube channel would he have ever worked for Westinghouse on A/C electrical theory or would he have just spent his entire life performing flashy gimmicks for clicks? Imagine how little he would've accomplished if he was in the "earthquake machine / death ray" phase for his *entire life*.*
*Yes, his silly gimmicks later in life were fake, sorry to disappoint you conspiracy dipshits.

I wouldn’t doubt his YouTube projects are just for the love of engineering his own toys and experiments. He probably has a day job at bell labs or something like that. As for Tesla, he wasn’t interested in “clicks”, or rather notoriety in his day. Tesla enjoyed being around pigeons more than other humans, at least that’s what I’ve read a few times, he was not a people person and his interests were beyond wealth which is why all he had at the end of his life was mainly papers and patents, along with a whole bunch of debt. Without a question he could’ve been super wealthy if that’s all he cared about.

Short of starting his own company, which would go on to create tangible things, there was no other way to monetize that type of talent at the time. Now there is. I fear it is its own "brain drain" in a way.

Nikola could’ve been rich AF if he wanted to be without ever starting his own business, in fact there were periods where he was rich by late 1800’s to early 1900’s standards. He waived the royalties on several of his inventions so people could use his tech for free so long as the people who wanted to use his tech paid for the materials and built it themselves….but even for the inventions that earned him repeated royalties, and the inventions he sold outright without a repeated royalty, he immediately put all of his profits right back into R&D for new ideas and projects, most of which didn’t get sold to anybody, so his profits were drained in the process.
Like I said, his goal was never about getting rich. Shit man, he had the patent for AC power generation and for the electric motor, those two patents alone would’ve earned him millions of dollars had he not sold his rights to the patents to George Westinghouse for $60,000. Tesla still could’ve been a millionaire from the royalty clause that Westinghouse agreed to for Tesla’s motor patent, which was supposed to cost Westinghouse $2.50 per horsepower produced by tesla’s motors, that royalty clause was so costly to Westinghouse that he would’ve went bankrupt had Tesla used the courts to force Westinghouse to pay for all of the horsepower Tesla’s motors produced. Nikola tore up the royalty clause part of the deal because Westinghouse was his friend, so all he really got was the $60,000 worth of cash and stock in Westinghouse, which in the early 1900’s would’ve been the equivalent of like 2.3 million dollars by today’s standards.

It’s not really a waste. This guy isn’t anywhere near the top of his field.
I’ve noticed that in almost every industry, there’s someone making YouTube videos about it. These creators usually have a basic understanding and are mainly focused on entertaining a general audience. Then there are the actual experts, the ones doing meaningful, often unseen work. Those experts usually aren’t impressed by the YouTuber.
Even in my own field, there are plenty of people on YouTube repeating outdated or well-known information. To the general public, they might seem like super duper geniuses, but to those of us actually working in the field, it’s nothing new.
I bet anyone in his field could replicate that experiment he did within a week or even less with no difficulty. But they don’t because it’s a pointless exercise.

How many videos are hosted on YouTube? 3 million? And yet they keep promoting the same garbage
I was disappointed because I initially thought he actually made a 2 billion fps video camera.. in his garage.
But it's just a single pixel sensor he bought online that he points in different directions and then combines to make a "video".
But the idea of using it in this way for entertainment is still pretty clever.

What he did is still incredibly difficult. This is much MUCH harder than it seems.
Whats so hard about it? The hardest part seemed to be the python, which isn’t that hard.
2 GS/s is insanely fast. Just as a single example the input has to be so sensitive that it can detect *single photons*, and respond so fast that multiple samples are *in the cable* at the same time.
Guess it depends on how you define "frames." If each pixel is a frame? Sure, I guess, then you combine a bunch of "frames" to make a composite image (an actual frame). But yea considering he has to take about a million pixels while pulsing the laser to generate a single *actual* frame.
Then again, CRT TVs kinda worked on the same principle - beaming a point of light at the TV and scanning it back and forth/top-bottom really fast. And you would still call each finished... "rendering(?)" of the beam's path a "frame."
Sure, I'll give it to him for the cool points.

Doppler effect is why the light looks slower when going away from the camera.
This is amazing on many levels. WE HAVE NEVER MEASURED THE SPEED OF LIGHT ON A ONE WAY TRIP. He JUST DID. We always measure it on a round trip. So they divide the number by 2 to get the speed of light.
This guy is amazing

that's not really 2 billion fps, it's a bullshit video
True. He records the same repeatable event (firing a laser) one pixel at a time. Due to the 1 pixel resolution of each event, he's able to record at insanely high FPS, and through recording that event for each pixel in an HD format, he splices together all the data into a single video.
It's not technically a single video of a single event, but it's still really cool.

no, it's recording a 4k picture which is 8,294,400 pixels per frame and removing each 1 pixel frame that he cares about, then mashing it back together again, to produce the 2 billion frames per second. He's not recording at 2 billion fps, he's taking image and mashing it together to make supposedly 2 billion fps. there aren't have enough hard drives on the planet to make a 2 billion fps video that long.
The video is only as many frames as necessary for light to go like ..30 meters. So, no its not that much data. I think you're mistaken about how he does this. He's not capturing in HD. He records only 1 pixel per laser shot. He then does this thousands of times scanning the whole frame to produce a 2D video.
Edit: In fact. You must not have watched the video, because he explains this in detail. Thats one of the awesome things about this guy, he doesn't gloss over the technical stuff.

You didn't even watch the video. He is sampling a PMT at 2 ghz. There are no CCDs or traditional cameras involved. He made a scientific instrument in the manner a the true scientist before 1900.
You should watch the video. The guy explains exactly how he records and makes the video, along with all the equipment he made and uses, and how it works.
