What was the name of the man who photographed a drop of milk falling?

Question

I think he also photographed a bullet going through an apple, and a cat falling. I can't remember his name though. DO NOT say check Google, that is what I have been doing for the past half hour.

Answer 1

Dr. Harold Edgerton was born in Freemont, Nebraska on April 6, 1903.
He was raised in Aurora, Nebraska, then entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1926. He died in 1990.

Dr. Harold E. Edgerton, professor at MIT and inventor of the electronic flash, devoted his career to recording what the unaided eye cannot see. His photographs illustrate such moments as: a bullet seen the instant it explodes through an apple, a perfect coronet formed by a milk-drop splash, and a football dented by the contact of Wes Fesler's booted foot. These images have become classics of modern art and science.

Dr. Edgerton was the first to take high-speed color photographs and was a pioneer of multiflash and microsecond imagery, which he used to take detailed photographs of hummingbirds in motion, as well as the progression of athletes' movements. These wondrous images have shown us things we were never able to see before, in photographs that are as remarkable for their precision as for their beauty.
