As Tue tech improves how far can it go? Will our current 16Mp be

in just 2 years if soon we might get 30-40Mp on the low end with this

The first milestone will be when the sensor resolution > nyquist rate
for
the best lenses, or alternatively the diffraction limit at f/1.4.
i understood that the primary limit in pixel density on sensors has to
do with the fact that as the photosites get smaller, there is more
diffraction of the light hitting the sensor (through microlenses over
each "pixel"), to the point where increasing pixel density will not
resolve more detail, regardless of the lens.
Another problem is if the photo sites are narrower than the wavelength
of the light they are intended to capture, but hey software can take
care of that right?
