In summary, The conversation discusses the possibility of building a device that can see the entire spectrum of light and whether or not it is technologically feasible. The speaker believes that if such a device can be built, the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages. They also mention the idea of using separate devices that see different parts of the spectrum and linking them together. The conversation also touches on the idea of sacrificing resolution for bandwidth and the upper limit of frequency being equal to the total energy of the universe. The conversation ends with a clarification on the symbol for frequency being used.

first thing, do you think such a device can be technologically feasible?
do you think we need it?

i think if we can build such a device why not?! i think the advantages of it are more than the disadvantages.

All the spectrum of the light.

You can't build a single device that sees the entire spectrum, but you can build a bunch of separate devices that see parts of it and link them together. Same effect.

At some point you would have to sacrifice resolution for bandwidth for the final "viewing"; or you would only be able to view sections of the spectrum at any time.

As an upper limit, I suggest the frequency √ = E/h; where E is the total energy of the universe.

We will need an infinitely long antenna for the low end.
:wink:

square root of what equals E/h?

I just thought the radic looks more like the nu that I know and love.
I meant frequency = E/h
