Camera that captures one trillion frames per second...

developed by MIT. It allows you to view a light pulse as it travels and also can be used to see around corners. The video also has a nice shot of a bullet passing through an apple at a very slow speed. Fascinating stuff...

Can you edit out the red eye?

That is extremely neat and impressive. The difference between sonor and this (and the difference in characteristic between sound waves and light waves) create some interesting questions that might generate some further interesting research and results. Based on this information, it seems intuitive that sound waves are of different kind/quality because the sonor has to be in direct line with the waves to accurately detect, so if you place any objects even partially between the sonor and the source, much of the sound wave gets absorbed by the intervening object(s) and deadens or inhibits the sonor's effect, whereas light waves do not have such problems. Intriguing.

I read an interesting paper a few years ago that I have since been unable to find. The research indicated that the porosity of rocks is such that rocks absorb and "record" sound waves. The research further suggests that if we had a device that could separate the recorded sounds and play them back, rocks would be functioning as de facto recording devices -- which has an interesting overlay with Biblical scripture.

Science (without politics and agendas) is neat.

A trillion frames per second? Goodness, and I thought Tim Samaras' "lightning camera" (actually developed to photograph nuclear tests) was impressive.

I actually was fooling around with a rock and an old phonograph to see if I could reawaken the recorded sounds of the past. The problem is when I turned the rock under the phonograph's needle I accidentally turned it backwards. All I heard was..."I buried Paul."

Neat indeed Olen.

I "shutter" to think you couldn't.

Wow! You've uncovered the legendary abbeyroad stone.

Kookoocachoo.
