He was the man who pioneered slow motion photography, the bullet going through an apple one of his icionic shots.

I wish he'd lived to see some of this stuff and especially the femtophotography that is fast enough to photograph a packet of photons from a laser going through a Coke bottle.

Thanks for the video, amazing stuff.
