Ever Wonder What Resolution The Human Eye Is?

Elon Musk asked the most interesting question on Twitter today!  He was wondering what resolution the human eye sees.

I thought this was a really cool inquiry because I’ve definitely thought it before when shopping for phones with fancy cameras!  Sometimes, they’re so clear you wonder if it’s more clear than real life?

Well Dr. Chris Combs mentioned what he thought the human eye resolution was and not all of it made sense to me, but some of it was fascinating!
