The outstanding progress of radio astronomical interferometric imaging – a gain in angular resolution of 1010 in 50 years – demonstrates that once basic physical principles are established and technology developed, the field can develop with immense benefits for astronomy. Today, physics and technology give solid foundations for rapid growth of optical interferometry.
