OFF TOPIC

This might look like some kind of microscopic organism, but it's actually a high-speed photograph of a nuclear explosion. It was captured less than 1 millisecond after the detonation using a rapatronic camera, which is capable of exposure times as brief as 10 nanoseconds (one nanosecond is one billionth of a second)...

"The fireball is roughly 20 meters in diameter, and three times hotter than the surface of the sun."

I was more interested to know what scale that was... very cool all the same!

If you find it freaky that they had the technology to capture these kind of things back in the 50's, check out what they can do now!

  That's nothing. The velocity of a vindaloo instigated fart can be measured within a single nanosecond.

Damn, that looks pretty awesome. The idea of a camera that can take photos by the microsecond is pretty insane by itself...
