what they do is record stuff with a really high frame rate video recorder and
view it in slow motion to see how things happens...see below:
about the show
do you know how your dog uses its tongue to drink? in what exact way a face
contorts when punched by a ufc contender? what happens when an egg falls into
the pinwheeling blades of a fan? or an apple is hit with a bullet?
likely, with nothing but your naked eye to guide you, you haven't got a clue. in
fact, there are countless events the world has to offer that our limited senses
can't fully appreciate ... until now, anyway.
welcome to discovery channel's new series time warp, in which mit scientist and
teacher jeff lieberman uses new technologies to bring truly never-before-seen
wonders into a form that your body can actually process.
using the latest in high-speed photography, the time warp team takes some
natural events (a cat licking its paw, a champagne bottle being opened) — and
some not-so-natural (a water balloon to the face, a raw piece of chicken
exploding) — and turns them into a thing of both beauty and learning.
premiering in fall 2008, the series is filming right now, and we're looking for
suggestions of events to slow down or speed up! won't you help us have a little
fun with science?
come on people. this sounds really, really interesting. ( not the thing with
the fat man ). i've seen something similar once on the net and i wanted to try
it but is not so easy to do at home.
