With Hyper-NA getting Zeiss greenlight, it's insane to think that they are going to make world's smoothest mirrors even smoother.
Has anyone run the math yet to know how to update this analogy?
"If you were to extend the mirror over the size of Germany, the imperfection would be at most 20 micrometer, thinner than hair."
How long would the polishing take? Robots polishing them for nearly a year?
