It doesn't really capture 10 trillion frames per second. The laser pulses at a regular interval, and the combination of the regular pulsing + multiple pictures taken at different points along those pulses makes for 10 trillion distinct frames captured within the timeframe of 1 second. There is no actual video captured.

I get that being a tech journalist is difficult, you have to juggle between the tech and the layman. But after writing a headline, read it back to yourself and ask: will this put the wrong idea in people's minds? If the answer is yes, rewrite it... even if it sounds less cool.
