    Leland Stanford's Bet

    Leland Stanford made a $25,000 bet, that when a horse ran, all 4 hooves lifted off the ground at the same time. He hired Eadward Muybridge to take pictures of it. They couldn't get a picture mid run because of exposure time on the camera, so they set up 12 cameras on tripwires to take mid-run pictures of the horse. He won the bet.
