The Accidental Discovery, How Radio Waves Unveiled the Universe's Beginnings

The video narrates the story of radio astronomers Robert Wilson and Arno Penzias, who discovered the cosmic microwave background radiation, providing evidence for the Big Bang theory. Using the horn reflector antenna at Bell Labs, they detected unexpected signals, initially thought to be interference. After consulting with Princeton researchers, they realized they had found the elusive radiation. Their findings led to a paradigm shift in cosmology and earned them the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physics.
