260.10 Invisibility of Macro- and Microresolutions

260.11 The eye of a healthy human can comfortably perceive an interval of \sfrac{1}{50}th of an inch, and the human’s timing sense can recognize the rhythm of identical minimum intervals lying between the black vertical lines of an engineer’s white ivory measuring scale, but with optimum naked eyesight humans can only with great difficulty read on a scale that equals\sfrac{1}{100}th of an inch. Humans’ eyesight cannot “resolve,” i.e., differentially perceive$\sfrac
{200}th-inch interval s between microdots of\sfracth-of-an-inch diameter. For these reasons b lack-and-white or color printing plates for picture reproductions, which consist of subvisible benday screen dots spread\sfrac$th of an inch apart, produce pictures whose surface information appears to humans as being realistically “ continuous” and as a progressive color blending ergo, natural.

260.12 The diameter of the spherical activity domain of a single atom, including the electrons orbiting its nucleus, is called one angstrom. And one angst rom is \sfrac{1}{2,500,000}th the diameter of the smallest humanly seeable speck. Moreover, the diameter of the atomic nucleus is 1/10,000th of one angstrom, and the nucleus has now been found to consist of a plurality of further “particles” such as quarks, leptons, hadrons, and so forth. Humans have now developed electromagnetic sensors, have microphotographed individual atoms, and have macrophotograph ed a billion galaxies, each of hundreds of billions of star-population magnitude s percent of which information about reality is invisible to the naked human eye. (See Sec. 1238.60.) What humans have been experiencing and thinking of “realistically” as dim “somethings” or “points” in a field of omnidirectional seeming nothingness now requires experimentally provable reconsideration, epistemographic reconceptioning, and rewording.
