This video by AlphaPhoenix is absolutely incredible! I do research in (nonimaging) optics and I am used to thinking about the propagation of light. Still, there is something amazing about seeing a real recording of the propagation of a real beam of light. I also love the fact that you see artefacts due to how long light from different parts of the scene takes to reach the camera
