If our eyes could receive and measure infinitely¹ delicate sense-data, we could perceive the 5 world with infinite precision. The natural limits of our eyes have, of course, been extended by mechanical instruments; telescopes and microscopes, for example, expand our capabilities² greatly. There is, however, an ultimate limit beyond which no instrument can take us; 10 this limit is imposed by our inability to receive sense- data smaller than those conveyed by an individual quantum of energy.
