This doesn't seem to be about slowing down photons, but rather about filming actual photons as they illuminate scenes. Which is also pretty cool, though.

I have to wonder how many photons are in that bullet of photons when they scatter and create waves. I'd like to see what one single photon looks like, but it seems it is impossible because we see the wave of photons (light) and not a single one.  :-k  Science is so fascinating and interesting unlike religious dogma. Like comparing a symphony with rap. :shock:   :-$  8-[  :lol:  Solitary
