The greatest scientific "oops" moment in history! Penzias and Wilson were just trying to get rid of some annoying static in their radio telescope when they stumbled upon the literal echo of the Big Bang. Imagine fixing your TV antenna and accidentally finding evidence for the creation of the universe! The Nobel committee basically showed up like "Congrats on your cosmic accident, here's physics' highest honor!" These guys were cleaning pigeon poop out of their equipment one day and revolutionizing our understanding of the universe the next. Talk about failing upwards in the most spectacular way possible!
