Aspectus Exceptio

Currently listening to:

In my GIS class we were discussing how maps convey information and that a particular satellite takes pictures at a 30m accuracy, so each pixel is the equivalent of 30 meters squared. To give a map or other image more resolution, the amount of pixels is increased. However, you can't just get these pixels out of the air, you're limited by the amount of pixels a camera, or the human eye, can take in to make an image. Images that take on more pixels do so by splitting each pixel into four of the same color and so on. It's interesting to ponder what we really see and wonder about all we miss out on because of the limitation of our inner (and outer) cameras. It's a lot to ask to see things with greater accuracy in terms of pixels, so I'd like to see things in their true colors as opposed to the ones they reflect.

I think light contributes to and is affected by drugs.
The world is photo realistic.
