#1 Actually, this camera is not able to take a picture of a running bullet (the bullet is way too slow).
And it's not really sooting at 10^12fps, it's the time to capture an image wich is equal to 10^-12s.
But the camera that is used here is linear, which means it has a resolution of XXX by 1 pixel (that's why you can see some kind of lines on the video of the bottle).
In order to take an image, you have to vertically scan the scene and reconstruct the image.
And by synchronizing the camera with a pulsing laser, you can see photons moving through space and bouncing on objects, which is pretty cool !
BTW: Shooting 1ns of real time video takes 1 hour...

#6 yes technically this is a stroboscopic effect and a scanning camera but still requires the actual sensor to have picosecond resolution.

Sure, it's fun to see the camera in action, but for some (like me) it can be more fun to actually know how the device works
