A weird thing to bear in mind is the fact that when you're looking at the start of the video the light has already reached the other end, because it also has to travel to the camera.
Horrible, horrible title but amazingly cool camera. It's kinda insane, actually, to see the light move like that.
LMAO. That's exactly what I was thinking. When I read it, I actually sat there for a minute and tried to figure out how the hell they could have interpreted it that way.Quote:
