Femto Photography – Catch Light Speed in Motion

Femtosecond (fs) is a measurement unit of time, equal to 10 -15 second or 0. 000 000 000 000 001 second.   Femto is the unit from the SI (International System of Unit) scale.   We may feel 1 second is a very short length of time in our daily life. But in science, there are even smaller measurement units out of our imagination: 1 second =1000 ms (milli second) 1 second = 1,000 000 μs (micro second) 1 second = 1 000 000 000 ns (nano second) 1 second = 1 000 000 000 000 ps (piko second) 1 second = 1 000 000 000 000 000 fs (femto second) We know light travels about 300 000 metre per second, or 300 km per second.   By using smaller measurement like femtosecond, we can work out that light travels about 300 nano metre ( or 0.000 000 3 metre) in 1 femtosecond (300 000 / 1 000 000 000). In 1964 Dr Harold Eugene ”Doc” Edgerton from MIT used a high-speed camera filmed a bullet hitting through an apple.   At a million frames per second, the camera was a...

During a pandemic called Black Death , Isaac Newton had to work from home, too. He used the time wisely.   In London, a quarter of the population would die of plague from 1665 to 1666. It was one of the last major outbreaks in the 400 years that the Black Death ravaged Europe. Isaac Newton was in his early 20s when the Great Plague of London hit. He wasn’t a “Sir” yet, didn’t have that big formal wig. He was just another college student at Trinity College, Cambridge. It would be another 200 years before scientists discovered the bacteria that causes plague, but even without knowing exactly why, folks back then still practiced some of the same things we do today to avoid illness spreading -- Social Distancing. In 1665, Cambridge sent students home to continue their studies.   For Newton, without his professors to guide him, he apparently thrived. The year-plus he spent away was later referred to as his “year of wonders.” First, he continued...
