Large Radio Astronomy: next 70 Years Step
Abstract
Description
Some attempts to predict the very distant future of Radio Astronomy are given. It is not easy to predict a list of the first priority problems which may appear, but the facilities potential is more predictable. It is suggested, that in addition to the "dedicated for Radio Astronomy", facilities may be extended greatly by integration with the next generation living standards facilities, connected with People-to-People communications through the global networks and by incorporating of the "Natural facilities", such as grav. lensing, maser amplification in the ISM etc. As an examples of the extreme cases of the $10^9 m^2$ class of the new generation Radio Telescopes, utilization of the personal dipole size communication facilities by SKA type instrument, and array from the asteroids first "Frehnel zones" will be mentioned. Radio Astronomy from the secondary to optical facilities tool will be the only tool in the exploration of the $z>10$ Universe. The reality of all predictions depend mostly on the way, the Civilization will prefer : "Ahead, to HOMO SAPIENCE" or "BACK TO PRIMATES".
