I have just heard that the World famouse Jodrell Bank Radio telescope has completed its upgrade.
It is now able to be connected to another six Radio Telescopes across the UK using new dedicated fibre-optics. This will enable this newly named 'e-Merlin' array to collect more information in one day than a single telescope was able to collect in three years. This now renamed 'Merlin array', as a Radio Telescope with a VLB very long Base line, will now have a definition and sensitivity almost as high as the optics of the Hubble Telescope ....and it will be able to look back into time, 1bn years after the start of the Big Bang.

Eventually the UK arm of the Merlin array will be joined to all the Radio telescopes in Europe, futher increasing the sensitivity of the Radio Telescope.
Giving this combinatorial Merlin array a definition some dozens of times better than the Hubble optical telescope.

Ultimately The Radio Telescopes of the world, the USA and the huge Square Kilometer array in Australia will all be joined together by fibre-optics. Not forgetting the "Atacama Large millimeter Radio Telescope array in the World in Chile" or ALMA for short.

I just hope that the Scientists and Astronomers in the 22+ countrys involved, work together as well as the world scientists did, when they worked upon the Hadron Collider at Cern.

***My thoughts
If and when all the Worlds Radio telescopes are joined together in the future using fibre-optics. It will produce a Telescope with the largest possible aperture that should be able look back the 14.7 billion years since the Universe was born. Or as far as our technology allowed us.
There could be no radio telescope bigger....unless a Radio telescope was built and placed upon the Moon to be included in the world Merlin array.

With a World Merlin array, I think it just might just be possible to reachback so far into the past that we would be able see the central mass of the Big Bang's expansion, in actual operation.?

Visualisation of Big Bang by AWT...

[quote=Mike Kremer]

I am not sure whether your Black Hole is expanding or contracting?

But I have found a REAL Black Hole on YouTube , ...doing what a Black hole is supposed to do!

It's collapsing, indeed - and it evaporates gradually like every other star. But its density still increases - which means, the energy spreads through it in lower and lower speed.



The creatures living inside of this environment would observe the above as an omnidirectional expansion of their space-time. Occasionally the energy can freeze inside it into new generation of black holes and whole process will repeat at deeper level.

I have found a short Video, About Jodrell Bank being more able, to observe the Edges of the Universe, by combining other telescopes with fibre optics.
