[time-nuts] GPS for Nixie Clock

[Bob Camp]

Hi

As a single pulse flash of light you can “detect” very narrow pulses. When you start trying to 
decide “which one came first?” and *resolve* visual information, things slow down quite a
bit. You can play a game to see how well people do. With most groups and most 
“targets”, anything under about 100 ms starts to get pretty random. 

If you “chop” a video signal, people can detect jitter out to 50 ms or so with normal scenes. With something 
that is moving very fast, most people can tell the difference between 20 sps and something 
faster based on “blur”.

So, different answers depending on just what the question really was.
