    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Have just read pinarello001's question on the 'Dear Cleat' thread in Bottom Bracket: "Cleat - Why do people post serious threads on cake stop?" which stimulated me to ask myself the same question of myself: I don't know.

    I thought the riotous illegal stuff was for Bottom Bracket and Cake Stop was one for we of serious mien and curmudgeonly bent. Seemingly not.

    Anyways Cleat, glad you had a ball watching the little vid I impulsively put up for critical inspection. I dug it as well and was overcome with an irrational desire to share this wonder of the world. :D

    PS: all of the papers relating to this invention is open source and is just waiting for others to develop it however they will. Also, as ever, the comments about it on the web page are worth a quick shufty.

    That is a pretty cool gadget. I thought it had to be a misprint when I read 'trillion'

    I was on a photo shoot last month where we were using a Phanton Flex camera shooting 1200 frames per second, but the Femto knocks that into a cocked hat!

    At those levels of technology the figures are staggering - a whole year to see a bullet pass the same distance. Staggering.

    Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.

    That's some amazing stuff. Being able to see beyond line of sight... so many potential uses for this. Wish I was that clever!
