They are       basically hard limits for differentiation between two close entities (in time       or space).              The Rayleigh limit is only correct for very low signal/noise ratios, Shannon's       theorem       supersedes it (so resolving doublets an order of magnitude closer than Rayleigh       limit is quite possible). Nyquist is only a discrete-transform theorem, the       uncertainty principles of quantum mechanics have broader coverage of       resolution limitations.              FFT and commutator mathematics are, indeed, 'so 20th century'.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
