This is awesome! You can now photograph the movement of photons in real time...
They've also open sourced the data and software to encourage further research. 8) :Thmbsup:

I saw this last week. Fucking incredible. Sorry to curse, but it's the only way to describe it.
Stuff like this keeps me going in life.

But, Is having everything available in "real time" where we really want to go?
In all seriousness, that is amazing. I wonder how they're able to "open/close" the shutter so fast (I know they aren't using a physical shutter, but since I don't know what they are using, that's the term I'm stuck with)?

Would you believe I was waiting for that? ;D
Unfortunately, there will be no prize for your being the first. :P
Besides, isn't 'photographing' and 'having' two completely different things? ;)
