Scientific paper

The main lines of thought which led to the inclusion of interferometry into the VLT proposal are reviewed. It is shown that if the VLT can be operated as an interferometer in practical fashion, it will offer an order of magnitude gain in resolution, several orders of magnitude gain in sensitivity and/or integration time over smaller interferometers, and limited but appreciable imaging capabilities comparable to the ones of VLBI. Scientific endeavors that will become practical using the VLT interferometer are discussed. The impact of the choice of site for the VLT is addressed.
