Scientific paper

A very large millimeter/submillimeter wavelength telescope is required for extragalactic astronomy. Over the past decade a major breakthrough has taken place, with the detection of objects at the highest redshifts in both line and continuum at millimeter/submillimeter wavelengths, and the realization that the luminosity of the distant Universe is dominated by the far infrared and millimeter wavebands. Current millimeter telescopes can only just detect the most luminous sources, giving us tantalizing first glimpses of the epoch of galaxy formation. A very large millimeter/submillimeter telescope is now being built to explore these new horizons, one with both high sensitivity and angular resolution - The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA).
