"The system works by homing in on specific pixels in a video over the course of time. Frame-by-frame, the program identifies minute changes in color and then amplifies them up to 100 times, turning, say, a subtle shift toward pink to a bright crimson"
So really the title should be "Scientist amplify motion in video" - because that is what is occurring. There is nothing "invisible" being discovered - it still needs a visual change.
- JonnieCache 14y agoInvisible here obviously means invisible to the human eye. This kind of deliberate point-missing is toxic to conversation, and it just makes you come across as childish.

- Volpe 14y agoOoh thanks for that, I was confused by the title and the video, but your pointless pedantics cleared it all up for me. Thanks!

- nathan_long 14y agoYou can argue that this was "imperceptible" rather than "invisible". But you could say the same thing about things we only see with the aid of telescopes and microscopes. "The amoebas weren't invisible; that light was already bouncing up to your eyes." But really, invisible means "unable to be seen." Unless you can demonstrate that it's possible for a person to see these things unaided, they are invisible.
