Using this Horn Antenna on Crawford Hill in Holmdel, N.J., astronomers first detected a residual noise in their measurements that was later determined to be the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).

I grew up around the #tech #innovators of #BellLabs, most of whom, like my dad & #ArnoPenzias, were refugees & all of whom were deeply curious visionaries excited about using #innovation & #technology to benefit #humanity. The new guard seems to have lost its way, abandoning benevolence in pursuit of profits in a way that feels alien to me. Insider #KaraSwisher says this mtg was the moment tech CEOs sold their integrity to #Trump.
Now it all makes sense.
