Cant we see a way to backhaul radio telescope data from very remote locations, in the same way that Cloudflare is using asymmetric website traffic patterns? Is there any potential for collecting radio data inexpensively, I mean can we substitute network scale and geography to such a extent that commodity radio observatory is possible, in the 20 years to my retirement, or in my life, or beyond?
I hear you loud and clear about the potential, but I am desperate to get a clue about how much the ramp will become steep and quick?
Funny thing, if it weren't for the cheap and distributed way of inexpensive intelligence that had bombarded my senses with new information, I should be very possibly unaware of the potential for this immense explosion of discovery!
- ajross 9y agoI'm not sure what you're asking for specifically. For signals like the ones in the linked article, there's no way to observe them without a giant dish. Lots of antennas don't do anything for the problem when the noise is many orders of magnitude higher than the signal.
