Story summary

Brian Haidet of the AlphaPhoenix YouTube channel recorded a laser beam at two billion FPS in his garage.
The camera captures one pixel and tiles recordings to form an image.
He built a one billion FPS camera previously and improved the design.
The experiment demonstrates special relativity by showing light speeds differ with approach versus recession.
Haidet says the setup represents a true two billion FPS camera despite its limitations.
