The Accidental Discovery That Proved the Big Bang | Cosmic Microwave Background Story #short #shorts

In 1964, two radio astronomers at Bell Labs — Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson — were not trying to prove the Big Bang. They were simply cleaning pigeon droppings from a giant horn antenna. What they found instead changed cosmology forever. A mysterious, uniform microwave noise coming from every direction in the universe turned out to be the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) — the leftover heat from the birth of the universe itself. This accidental discovery became the strongest evidence for the Big Bang Theory, ending the debate with the Steady State model and revealing the universe’s age, structure, and origin. From pigeons to the cosmos — this is one of the greatest stories in science. 👍 Like this video if you love space science 🔁 Share it with curious minds 🔔 Subscribe for more mind-blowing stories of the universe#bigbang #CosmicMicrowaveBackground #SpaceScience #Astronomy #Universe #Astrophysics #ScienceHistory #Cosmology #NASA #Physics #viralvideo #youtubeshorts #youtubeshort #youtubetrainding #youtubechannel #youtubeviralvideo #youtubemonetization
