  1. Somewhere, Harold Edgerton is smiling and rubbing his hands with delight.

  2. Re anon's comment:

    Harold Eugene "Doc" Edgerton (April 6, 1903 – January 4, 1990) was a professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is largely credited with transforming the stroboscope from an obscure laboratory instrument into a common device.

  3. And using that common device to capture this iconic image (http://www.agallery.com/pages/photographers/edgerton.html) of a drop of milk hitting a red enamel tray. And the image of a bullet cutting a playing card in half that was used on Golden Earring's "Cut" LP.

  4. These are awesome. They look like abstract works of blown glass. I, too, thought of Edgerton.
