In 1954, Albert Einstein was so upset by the McCarthy era attacks on the loyalty of scientists, that he said that if he were just starting out he'd become a plumber or peddler, instead of a physicist. He soon got an invitation to join a plumbing firm. #histSTM
The Horn Antenna in Holmdel, New Jersey Using that instrument, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson accidentally discovered the persistent radio hiss that had a profile consistent with relic radiation from the Big Bang, cooled down over billions of years. #histSTM
