Don't you mean turd thing?
Stumbled upon is correct, they weren’t even looking for it. But Jim Peebles and Robert Dicke were. Seems a shame really.

This may just be a coincidence or it may be that scientific knowledge had reached a point where these men could naturally come to the conclusions they did.
What sayest thou?

Quote:Dicke and his team were actually looking for the CMB, as their theoretical models suggested that a young, hot, dense universe would produce such radiation. They were months away from making their own measurements but Penzias and Wilson got there first. Dicke came off the phone to Penzias and said to his colleagues: "Boys, we've been scooped."
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
