“27,000 X-ray flashes per second, compared with the 120 flashes per second produced by a laser of the same type at the US National Accelerator Laboratory in Stanford, California, and 60 flashes per second generated by another in Japan.”
And I’m thinking: so?
Then I realize the smaller the object you look for, the smaller the area you can look in.
Even the smallest area would take an extremely large number of photographs to search.
To look for something infinitely small you would have to look in an infinitely large number of infinitely small areas at a time.
So... that’s one explanation for the creation of the ethanol industry.

"Then I realize the smaller the object you look for, the smaller the area you can look in." ... the more uncertain the location of the object becomes especially at Planck length (1.616229(38)×10−35 metres.) - while the act of observation changes the observed object, perhaps even calling it into existence ... read your quantum mechanics manual, scientists.
