Scientists Capture Light Going Faster Than Itself

Did you know this was possible?

A team of researchers at St. Louis’ Washington University have taken pictures of a laser pulse going so fast, it appears light is going faster than the speed of light.

Using cameras that capture an astounding 100 billion frames per second, the team directed a laser beam through layers of dry ice, aluminum oxide powder, and silicone panels.

Extreme Tech reports:

One of the cameras was a streak camera, which exploits the motion of charged particles to create a spatial “pulse profile” that characterizes the light waveform in 3-space over time. Using the streak camera and the CCDs, the researchers captured a 2D sequence of images from three perspectives in a single take. They then spliced the images back together like a CAT scan to make a 3D model of the cone.

In an interesting aside, with a camera that fast, researchers claim they should be able to capture neurons in the brain firing in real time.

  1. More and more evidence is coming out, thanks to the internet, that main stream physics is a fraud. Math can be used to prove a lie as well as the truth.
