1,000,000,000,000 fps (the time scale of the universe, caught on camera!)

This is simply amazing. Who would have thought we'd be able to capture something so instantaneous with a camera.

Not only that, they go on to show how it could be used. Though I'm fairly certain I'm unlikely to see anything commercially useful in my lifetime, it's no doubt incredible.

Things to note:
- Confirms space-time warp due to apparent disconnect between how events should occur, and how they appear to occur
- A movie of a bullet travelling the same distance, at the same fps, would take over a year to pass through the bottle
- Can see around corners, just by interpreting the reflected light from objects
- Can tell if a tomato is ripe

i am bestowed with the power, using 1,000,000,000,000 frames per second picture capturing that can frame the very movements of our universe and accurately define reflected light....

Hah! Yep.

Going to be a bit of a downer here though. The process takes hundreds of gigabytes of data to compile the video into something that makes sense. What we're seeing is actually millions of light pulses, with specific frames chosen to depict the proper progression of the event. This means it has no use in situations where something may change (like chemical reactions, particle collisions, lightning strikes, etc).

So, in other words, until we can store all of Youtube in a phone, this is unlikely to be of any use to ordinary people.

On a higher note, this is AWESOME! Also, this may help identify what really happens in the 2-slit experiment (1 photon apparently passes through 2 regions of space at the same time).
