These types of science talks, lectures and debates are one of my favorite things about the internet.

Thanks for sharing.

No worries

The ability to look into deep space and to see the universe almost as if we were there is so mind boggling.

It's amazing to see the different technologies being developed, just think what another 50 years will bring. I always liked this one...[video=youtube;YVvn8dpSAt0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVvn8dpSAt0[/video]

In the video the light traveling through the bottle is not 'femto' (i.e 10[SUP]−15[/SUP]) it would have to capture at a 'quadrillion' frames a second. .. In the video its travelling at 10 billionths (10x10[SUP]−9[/SUP]) which is actually 10 nano-seconds. ... That example should be called 'nano-photography' because its 10,000 times too slow. .. still very impressive.

Its crazy to actually think that there is a fundamental limit to how slow time can go 'Planck time' or 'Plank-second' (10[SUP]−44[/SUP]) ...

I'm just glad I'm not the sort to have my mind blown by Molinism. I don't know how I would handle the stuff science figures out.

I saw this a while back on youtube but it got deleted because of copyright issues so I couldn't find it thanks for the link! It still boggles my mind. Wouldn't the camera have to be ging faster than the speed of light for this to work?
