Nobel 2006: How COBE Made Cosmology a Precision Science
Original: Nobel 2006: making cosmology a precision science
The 2006 Nobel Prize in Physics honoured John Mather and George Smoot for their work with NASA's COBE satellite, which measured the cosmic microwave background with unprecedented accuracy. Their findings confirmed the Big Bang model and revealed tiny temperature fluctuations that seeded galaxy formation, transforming cosmology from speculation into precision science.
Why now: Historic Nobel-winning discoveries that shaped modern cosmology continue to draw attention in physics coverage.
