Science: Edgerton Death of a Bulb

"Harold Edgerton, a distinguished electrical engineer at MIT,
extended the "scientific" tradition of Muybridge's work
by inventing the process of stroboscopic photography...
Edgerton dramatically expanded our
previous perceptions of time and motion."

-Jock Reynolds, "Framing Time,"
Motion And Document Sequence And Time


The four pictures were not taken in succession; each is of a different
bullet and a different bulb caught at different phases of action.
