Nobel 2006: making cosmology a precision science
The 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics honoured the work that turned cosmology into a precision science, recognising measurements of the cosmic microwave background that confirmed the Big Bang model and revealed tiny temperature fluctuations seeding galaxy formation. Commentators note the prize marked a shift for cosmology from speculative theory to data-driven, exacting measurement.
Why now: The award is being revisited because it marked the moment cosmology became a precision observational science.
