Quantum Telescope Could Make Giant Mirrors Obsolete
Quantum mechanics, rather than a huge telescope, could be the best route to high-resolution space images, according to new research carried out in the UK. If confirmed, a telescope of any size could resolve ever-smaller features of the night sky, allowing astronomers to discover exoplanets and other distant objects much more easily than is currently possible.

The potential such a telescope has is truly breathtaking when you think about it...

Of course you realise it will be weaponised first?

I hope not.

You're right, there does exist that possibility - but I always like to think with a hint of optimism. Humanity has two very clear choices. We can reach the stars with the 'art of science', or, we can keep our feet firmly to the ground with the 'art of war'. It's really that simple.

"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title."

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women

If scientists succeed in creating a device that can truly detect dark matter, then they can develop cameras and audio devices that will enable us to see and communicate with beings of that frequency. They'd probably provide us with advanced knowledge to build advanced technology.

The idea begs whether they can communicate in a frequency we'd understand. Would we want a colony of ants running earth?

WE HAVE A QUANTUM TELESCOPE INSIDE OF US....IT'S CALLED THE THIRD EYE.

IF USED PROPERLY IT CAN NOT ONLY SEE ANYTHING IN OUR PHYSICAL UNIVERSE REGARDLESS OF THE DISTANCE, IT CAN ALSO SEE BEYOND OUR THIRD DIMENSIONAL REALITY.

If the Universe had an end point and you could build a telescope that could see the outer limit. Would you just see a telescope looking back?

No, nothing to do with Bells theorem. This is stimulated emission, the principle that lasers operate on.
