1965: PENZIAS AND WILSON In 1965 Arno A. Penzias and Robert W. Wilson of Bell Laboratories were testing a sensitive horn antenna which was designed for detecting low levels of microwave radiation. They discovered a low level of microwave background “noise”, like the low level of electrical noise which might produce “snow” on a television screen. After unsuccessful attempts to eliminate it, they pointed their antenna to another part of the sky to check whether the “noise” was coming from space, and got the same kind of signal. Finding no explanations for the origin of the noise, they finally concluded that it was indeed coming from space, but that it was the same from all directions. 1 They later realized that they had accidentally confirmed George Gamow’s predictions made 17 years earlier. They discovered the “echo” of the Big Bang. Penzias and Wilson were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1978 for their discovery. Later on, Penzias writes this about his discovery: Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a Universe which was created out of nothing, one with the very delicate balance needed to provide exactly the conditions required to permit life, and one which has an underlying, one must say, supernatural plan. Slowly but surely, scientific discoveries were chipping away at the so called “theory of evolution”. 1992: NASA’S COBE (Cosmic Background explorer) One of the predictions that were made if the Big Bang theory is to stand, is that the background radiation should be measurable as a temperature, and that there should be small variations of temperature on the order of one part in 10,000. For years, NASA, tried several times to measure the temperature of this background radiation but, according to them: “None of our previous instruments were sensitive enough to measure this small variation.” 1 http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/astro/penwil.html 9
COPE (Cosmic Background explorer) was the first satellite built dedicated to cosmology. Its goals were to investigate the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) of the universe and provide measurements that would help shape our understanding of the cosmos. This work helped cement the Big Bang theory of the universe. According to the Nobel Prize committee, "the COBE-project can also be regarded as the starting point for cosmology as a precision science". Two of COBE's principal investigators, George Smoot and John Mather, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2006. 1 The COBE satellite found the expected variation in temperature and mapped it, providing a startling confirmation of the Big Bang model. These results have largely silenced critics of the Big Bang, who were hoping to get rid of the “problem” of an initial beginning to the universe. George Smoot, the COBE project leader said this: “What we have found is evidence for the birth of the universe. It’s like looking at God.” There was a story on the front page of virtually every newspaper in the world. What the London Times, New York Times, etc. seemed to pick up on the most was the statement by George Smoot, the team leader “It's like looking at God.” Obviously, this captured the public's attention. 2 Here are some comments about this discovery: Unbelievably important... They have found the Holy Grail of cosmology. Michael Turner (University of Chicago) It is the discovery of the century, if not all time. <strong>St</strong>ephen Hawking (Cambridge University, UK) These findings, now available, make the idea that God created the universe a more respectable hypothesis today than at any time in the last 100 years.
