Cosmic Microwave Background

from Star Stuff by Chris Harris

/

about

Back in 1964, physicist Arno Allan Penzias and radio-astronomer Robert Woodrow Wilson had a problem. They couldn't get rid of the annoying hiss that their microwave antenna was picking up (they worked for Bell Laboratories at the time). As the horn antenna was home to a flock of nesting pigeons and full of poo, they thought that might be the problem, so they cleaned it all up.

The hiss remained.

It wasn't pigeons. Penzias and Wilson were hearing the dying echoes of the Big Bang. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1978 for their discovery.

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
