Decoding Reality: The Power of Tech Interferometry
Unveiling the Invisible: How Interferometry Opens Doors to the Universe We often marvel at the power of telescopes, capturing breathtaking images of distant galaxies and nebulas. But beyond their ability to gather light lies a more profound technique – interferometry – that allows us to see things invisible to the naked eye. Imagine combining multiple telescopes into one giant, super-powered instrument capable of resolving objects with astonishing detail. That's precisely what interferometry achieves, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the universe. The Dance of Light Waves: Interferometry relies on the wave nature of light. Just like ripples in a pond, light waves travel as crests and troughs. When these waves from different sources overlap, they interfere with each other,...
