Waltzing to Heisenberg's Symphony.

As reported in the "New Scientist" of 4th July '98, in
order for the Mark IV to work better than its
predecessor, the Mark III, its sensitivity had to be
raised -exponentially so I believe. In order for it to
be sensitive as to be able to detect a star(s) as
faint as in the 15th magnitude range, electronically
the equipment has to be able to detect changes in
current and voltages as minute and sudden as possible.
The more the efficiency in the said detection the
better it'd seem to be the intended end(?) result;
that is, its efficiency has to be raised to even more
higher orders of powers in order to achieve the said.
By inference, the exponential factor has to approach
infinity, with this being so in order to detect the
"fine" infinite changes.

Along similar lines, in the "Astronomy" magazine,
March '99, page 34, when physicists Glennys Farrar and
Peter Bierman were conducting tests to identify the
possible source of subatomic particles whose velocity
was 99.99999999999999999999 percent that of light, in
their "Space Streakers" article, finally they were of
the opinion that "a new generation of detectors soon
to come on line'll be able to pinpoint cosmic ray
origins to much higher precision". In the very same
mag, page 59, on the article "King of the mountain",
the author -Govert Schilling- while writing on the
European Space Observatory's (ESO) Very Large
Telescope (VLT), four in total, also talks of it as
being the most powerful telescope in the world -50
times more so than Hubble.

Now, the above issues at the end of the day'll be
scuttled by the Ghost of Heisenberg -in terms of
zooming in on smaller and smaller portions of the
firmament with bigger and bigger telescopes- as
regards raising efficiency, pursuing ever more higher
standards of precision(?) -where's the "fine(?)" line
drawn that sets the "limits(?)"? I am working on a
paper on the concept of Limits and Delimits, otherwise
what do you think?
