What are newton's rings? Aren't they produced essentially on the same principle of reflection/refraction? Aren't those circles light to be precise? Rings are produced when the second ray undergoes a phase change of 180 degree? Don't we actually see light!

You could fill a space with photosensitive atomic clocks, shine a light through, and use a computer to build an animation of the light.
There must be a way to do it in analog though. You'd have to find out a way to fold space like a paper crane. Make an inch become a million miles, then every hundred thousand miles, fold the inch/megamile space to a point on photographic film in inch/inch space. Then turn on your flashlight.
This is the sort of crap I'd be trying to do if I were a billionaire. . .

exactly. if the speed were any slower it'd be so much easier to acomplish

i asked my science teacher something like this a few years back. i asked him if you could slow down a flim so much that you could see the light travelling up the filament in a lightbulb. he told me that you couldnt; but wouldn't explain why, he said i wouldnt get it... dick.
