Wow! How long would it take to play back a trillion frames? At 60 frames per second that’s 1 trillion divided by 60. I can’t figure that in my head.
(Is my math right?)

This is exciting news. LiNbO3 is an interesting electro-optic crystal that has been much studied and is only partially understood.

Good for the Japanese....too bad an American wasn’t interested enough to pursue this

I’m waiting for a photograph or video that contains as much detail as the subject.

Then you can literally step into it as a separate world.

1 trillion FRAMES per second?

if the frame was ONLY 640x480 with 24 bit color, then each frame would be 900kb, uncompressed

just to store ONE SECOND of video, the storage would have to be able to write at least 900,000 GB/sec

that’s a tad higher then the current top write speed commercially available... less then 1 GB/sec

In real time, 1 second :-) Now to find specific frames could be a bit more of a task.

If you watched a trillion frames of video at 60 frames per second, it’d take you 528 years to view it all (the entire one second of action). Like someone else said, even if you could do it, you probably wouldn’t want to record that much in the first place, because... who’s gonna watch it?
