LARGE SPACE TELESCOPE-LST

The whole problem with a telescope in outer space is that there is no air.
So clearly you picture of everything is going to be less that 100%.
And that obviously not true.
So why am I arguing that a telescope on the ground can be just as good as one in outer space.
Because it is all in cyberspace and there is no air in cyberspace.
And you have to add up images that are reflected to infinity.
And this is easiest to do if yo have a TV picture it can be reflected to infinity.
And it's resolution does not increase.
And if that were the case that multiple images could not be put togther in such a way that resolution increases.
Then this project would not be worth anything.
But the total resolution of the iamges reflected to infinity.
Maybe the sum of all the parts.
And that is true unless we add another picture.
When we add a second picture reflected to infinity.
We are adding two infinite resolutions and magnifications.
So we get 2*.
And if that were the case then millions of sperate photos even if they were copied by the computer.
Woudl produce millions of times resolution and magnification.
And it does work that what Nasa said about the picture of Orion.
When you increase reoslution you can increase magnification.
And we will learn how to use computers to do this effectively.
So we able to magnify a digital image many thousands of millions of times.
So we will be able to see the planet 20 light years distance.
And we may be able to see one 1000 light years distance.
There are no limits to magnification.
Just as there are no limts to resolution.
If that is true that infinity is the limt.
Then we add until we reach infinity and we never will reach it.
And that is what Pi can do for us it can give us an infinite resolution.
Because Pi can be taken to infinity and be rational.
And this gives is a focus which is infinite in it's nature.
And maybe we won't learn how to use rational Pi in this way for awhile.
But computers are destined to take over from telescopes to view the universe.
And there are limits.
And the limit is the size of the telescope.
And an infinite number of pictures from the same telescope will work just as well as pictures from different telescopes.
But is difficult to see at present how an infinite number of pictures can be taken.
But if we succeed in taking infinity to a rational number.
Then we can have maginfication that is unlimited.
