Scientific paper

The expansion of the Universe, discovered by Hubble in 1929, remains one of the fundamental observational cornerstones of contemporary relativistic cosmology. The sheer photon collecting power of future Extremely Large Telescopes will allow us, for the first time, to directly probe the history of the expansion: by observing a systematic drift of the redshifts of cosmologically distributed sources over the timescale of a few decades we will be able to map out the expansion velocity as a function of cosmic epoch. This fundamental physics experiment is as elegant as it is observationally and technically challenging. Here we describe the experiment in detail and outline an ongoing effort to devise an instrument capable of meeting the challenge: CODEX.
