So my question is, just HOW is this possible? If each cone in the human fovea is only 1/400 of a millimetre in diameter or thereabouts, this should just NOT be possible!


Any ideas? Richard ... ? Anyone?

Since your eyes are constantly moving and spreading the information around to multiple sensors which then communicate
to each other your actual resolution is multiples of that. If you could hold your eye still and stare.. the hair would disappear.
