He was the man who pioneered slow motion photography, the bullet going through an apple one of his icionic shots.

I wish he'd lived to see some of this stuff and especially the femtophotography that is fast enough to photograph a packet of photons from a laser going through a Coke bottle.

Thanks for the video, amazing stuff.

(I think Mythbusters took the Civil War myth on but the bullets all hit cockeyed and they couldn't get them to fuse, either)
