Invisibility of Macro- and Micro- Resolutions:
"The eye of a healthy human can comfortably perceive an interval of 1/50th 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 a 1/100th-of-an-inch scale. Humans eyesight cannot ‘resolve,’ i.e., differentially perceive 1/200th-inch intervals between microdots of 1/200th-of-an-inch diameter. For these reasons black-and-white or color plates of printed picture reproductions consisting of subvisible benday screen dots spread 1/200th-of-an-inch apart produce pictures whose surface information appears to humans as being realistically ‘continuous’ as a progressive color blending, ergo ‘naturalistic.’
“The diameter of the spherical activity domain of a single atom including that of the electrons orbiting its nucleus is called one angstrom. And one angstrom is 1/2,500,000th the diameter of the smallest humanly-secable speck. 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”
