Space Telescope! The Galaxy Rotation Problem! Is the Law of Universal Gravitation Wrong? The Entire Audience Is Shocked!

After the morning session ended, it was time for lunch and a break.

Inside the buffet hall.

The attendees gathered in twos and threes, enjoying the food while reminiscing about the earlier speeches, chatting and laughing merrily.

Li Qiwei was with Hale and more than a dozen other leading figures, discussing the development of astronomy.

He suddenly revealed an utterly staggering piece of news.

"After I return to Borneo, I plan to build a radio telescope with a diameter exceeding fifty meters."

"When the time comes, everyone is welcome to visit Borneo often for exchange and study."

Hiss!

Everyone immediately sucked in a sharp breath!

A tidal wave of shock surged through their hearts!

"God!"

"A radio telescope fifty meters in diameter?"

"How powerful would that be?!"

"It could probably see straight to the end of the universe."

Hale's eyes widened in disbelief.

He was utterly won over by Professor Bruce's audacity.

The two-meter-diameter optical telescope on Mount Wilson was currently the foremost treasure in the astronomical world.

But compared with a fifty-meter radio telescope, it was as different as clouds and mud.

Like comparing the power of a primitive man's spear to a modern Krupp cannon.

He could imagine that once this unimaginable telescope was truly completed, Borneo would become the undisputed foremost holy land of astronomy.

Astronomers everywhere would flock to it, eager to use this terrifying telescope to observe the universe.

In astronomy, aperture was truth!

A larger aperture not only allowed one to see farther, but also detect fainter astronomical signals.

Perhaps they might even find the cosmic microwave background radiation Professor Bruce had predicted, along with even more secrets of the universe.

Hale said with feeling, "Professor Bruce, you're planning to sweep up all the world's brightest astronomers in one net."

Li Qiwei smiled. "That's
