	ScienceDaily: Arno Penzias, Lucent Technologies Chief Scientist, To Retire
		Penzias and his Bell Labs colleague, Robert Wilson, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1978 for their discovery of faint background radiation emanating from the "Big Bang" that is believed to have touched off the creation of the universe some 18 billion years ago.
		Penzias, Wilson and their Bell Labs co-worker Keith Jefferts discovered the existence of deuterium (heavy hydrogen) in outer space in 1973, providing additional clues to the birth of the universe.
		Penzias has served as vice chairman of the Committee of Concerned Scientists, an organization devoted to working for the political freedom of scientists in countries where that freedom is endangered.

		One of these scientists was Dr. Penzias himself, who, "despite the part his observations played in expanding the thinking of such physicists" as Dr. Weinberg, "believes that they are wrong in asserting that the universe is pointless" (Browne, 1978).
		Specifically, Penzias' research into cosmology has caused him to see "evidence of a plan of divine creation." He says that "the best data we have are exactly what I would have predicted, had I had nothing to go on but the five books of Moses, the Psalms, the Bible as a whole" (Browne, 1978).
		Penzias also worked on developing a large radio antenna to help detect hydrogen in space - the gas then thought to be present in the space between the galaxies - in order to complete an intergalactic hydrogen catalog.

	Incontro con Arno Penzias
		Arno Penzias ha vinto il premio Nobel per la fisica nel 1978, insieme a Robert Wilson, per i suoi studi di astrofisica, cosmologia e radioastronomia.
		Arno Penzias è molto scettico sulla tendenza, imperante in Italia come in America, delle grandi fusioni e concentrazioni.
		Infine, ho chiesto a Penzias se un paese come l'Italia, con risorse diffuse sul territorio, con forti radici regionali e locali, con una ricca diversità di culture, senza esagerate concentrazioni urbane, è in posizione di vantaggio nella nuova economia.

		Penzias and Wilson kicked them out and swept out all their droppings.
		Ironically, Robert Wilson had been trained in steady state theory (which suggested the universe was without beginning or end, unlike big bang theory), and he felt uncomfortable with the big bang explanation of their radio noise.
		By the mid 1970s, astronomers called it "the standard model." Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1978.

		Dramatically-improved appliance components are required, where Arno correctly pointed out the room and need for new inventions (youngsters should not think only video games remain to be invented) citing the requirement of a Battery-beating capacitor and white LEDs as examples of to be made inventions.

		In 1964 Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovered that light, called the cosmic background radiation.
		Penzias and Wilson thought the static their radio antenna was picking up might be due to droppings from pigeons roosting in the antenna horn.
		Their determination in 1964 that the entire sky seemed to be dimly glowing with radio light confirmed physicists' predictions and later earned Penzias and Wilson a Nobel Prize.

		Penzias studied physics at the City College of New York and Columbia University, where he built a microwave amplifier for radio astronomy research.
		When Wilson and Penzias stumbled upon the cosmic microwave background radiation, they were surprised that they had not only made a cosmological discovery, but one important enough to win a Nobel Prize (they each got a quarter of the 1978 prize, with the other half going to Pyotr Kapitza for unrelated work on low-temperature physics).

	Arno Penzias - Nobel Prize
		Penzias and Wilson's discovery was the watershed providing the critical evidence for a theory first developed by George Henri Lemaitre and Edwin Hubble in the 20s and the 30s.
		Basing his study upon well-established mathematical principles, Lemaitre proved that Einstein's theory of general relativity was incorrect in asserting that the universe was static and that a better model could be constructed based upon the theory of an expanding universe.
		As Penzias and Wilson continued to pursue their disruptive "static," they came to realize that they had discovered the remnants of this first cataclysm.
