Why will the 108mp camera sensor that Samsung has not improve the pictures taken?

I hear quite a bit from other redditors that 108mp camera sensors will make a picture more detailed but won’t actually improve their camera’s head and shoulders above its rivals and that megapixels aren’t everything and it all depends on the size of the aperture.

If this is the case, what is the size of the aperture needed to actually make a big difference in the photo’s?

The problem that most cameras face is not that they do not have enough pixles and color depth to capture the details in a scene but rather that there is not enough information in the light comming inn through the lense. The full explanation involves Quantum physics, Heisenbergs uncertainty principle and light interferance. However the gist of it is that there is just so many photons that will hit the camera lens and even if you are able to capture all the information in the photons there is no more detail in it. This will manifest itself as noise and blur in the resulting picture and no improvements in the pixel density or quality can make it any more clear. In order to get a high quality picture you need a big high quality lens.
