The world is full of fascinating things that have nothing to do with politics

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
US out of UN, UN out of US
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

With the advent of digital cameras high-speed photography got cheap. Moving the specialized film was technically difficult. Some inexpensive digital video are capable of what only very expensive cameras could do in the 60s. You can get a really good high-speed video camera, 17,000 fps, for less than $8000. Less capable cameras used to be priced like fancy houses.
There are still plenty of things that haven't been filmed being shot, dropped, or blown up so your hobby might make you some money.
High-speed video is much more common now:

Cameras observing in the infra-red and NIR open up possibilities of recording spectrum , like fine temperature fluctuations, even farther from normal perception.
There is an entire previously unseen world out there to explore and you don't need to be rich to get into it.
Fabulous and fascinating!!
That's very cool to see something that would usually flash by in an instant slowed down so much we can see it well.
I’m just stopping by to see how you're doing and say hello and to let you know I was here. I will check out the video. Wishing you well, my friend. Have a wonderful weekend!
Anon: Yes, there are lots of amazing images out there now, showing us things that used to be too fast to see, or colors we never knew were there. One of the many ways technology makes life more interesting.
Ricko: Thanks! As always, feel free to repost if so inclined.
Mary: Yes, the world has always been full of things too fast to see, but in just the last couple of generations we've become able to see them.
Dellgirl: Thanks. Went to the dentist for a difficult tooth extraction today, then slept through most of the afternoon because of the sedative they gave me for it. Some pain but not as bad as I feared.
