"Generational Perspective: Witnessing the Big Bang through the Eyes of Our Parents"
Physicists Arno Allan Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson discovered an unusual noise in their radio telescope observations in 1964, which turned out to be the cosmic microwave background (CMB) - the leftover radiation from the Big Bang. This discovery provided evidence for the Big Bang theory and earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics. Interestingly, the static "snow" seen on old analog TVs between channels also contains remnants of the CMB, although modern digital TVs and radios do not pick it up.
