Cosmic Background Radiation and Romance

Unread post by Dr. Powell »

This Thursday, Jan 14, will be Christina's and my 4-year anniversary. On our honeymoon we visited Holmdel, NJ. where the Horn Antenna was used to discover the Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR). Today, Jan 10, 1936, Robert Wilson, co-discoverer of the CBR was born. Both within 4 days of each other. Coincidence? I think not. I told Christina, that to me, she is the Cosmic Background Radiation!

Congratulations to you and Christina, Mike. Winced when I saw New Jersey, but it did sound like a great destination after all. :lol:
