摘要：

The theoretical limitations of a standard classical measuring device (D) are investigated by means of a simple example involving the measurement of distance. The length and time scales characteristic of D must be negligible compared to the acceleration length (L) and time (L/c), respectively, associated with its motion. Similar restrictions apply in a gravitational field where D is subject to tidal accelerations. A singularity occurs when the acceleration length vanishes. © 1990.
