Abstract:
The Dark Ages, a period stretching from 400 thousand years to 400 million years
after the big bang, is the least known era in the evolution of our universe, as no
visible light was emitted. However, another type of radiation was available, the
Hydrogen 21cm. It reaches us at frequencies between 1.5 and 30MHz. The ideal
way to detect it, involves antennas placed in a fixed orbit around the dark side of the
moon where it is shielded from electromagnetic interference emitted from earth.
