平方千米阵列的概念已经从答案发展到一个简单的问题：它需要多大的射电望远镜才能允许我们阅读宇宙历史，因为它是用其最丰富的成分氢的语言写成的？同样显而易见的是，将回答有关我们的宇宙起源和命运的基本问题的同一架射电望远镜，将允许在与地球类似的行星的形成、探测时空的引力扭曲、宇宙磁场的起源以及了解黑洞的形成和增长等不同领域做出大量其他发现。在这篇文章中，我们讨论了这些标题科学主题中的几个，并请读者参考这些会议记录中的概述章节，以获得有关预期影响的广泛领域的更多细节，以及专注于特定主题的个人贡献的章节。
The Square Kilometre Array concept has grown from the answer to a simple question: What size radio telescope would it take to permit us to read the history of the Universe as written in the language of its most abundant constituent, Hydrogen? What has also become apparent, is that the same radio telescope that will answer fundamental questions about our cosmic origins and fate will permit a wealth of other discoveries to be made, in areas as diverse as the formation of planets similar to the Earth, detection of gravitational distortions of Space-Time, the origin of cosmic magnetic fields and understanding the formation and growth of Black Holes. In this paper we discuss a few of these headline science topics and refer the reader to the overview chapters within these proceedings for more details on the broad areas of anticipated impact, as well as the individual contributed chapters that focus on specific topics.
