In 1964, while experimenting with the Holmdel Horn Antenna, which was used as a radio telescope, Penzias and Wilson accidentally discovered the microwave background radiation that exists universally. The Holmdel Horn Antenna was used to support the "Big Bang Theory" as opposed to the "Steady State Theory".
