Move over Bruce...., Here is something interesting to start the new decade off with...,
Apparently...Freehold Borough is connected to one of the most signification scientific discoveries of the 20th century,.
Seems...Arthur B. Crawford - from Freehold Borough, New Jersey - was the one heck of an engineer. Mr. Arthur B. Crawford constructed the Holmdel Horn Antenna that was completed under the direction of .... Mr. Arthur B. Crawford from Freehold Borough, New Jersey.
The Crawford after whom the (Crawford) hill is named has no connection with Art (Arthur B.) Crawford, who designed and had constructed the wonderful horn reflector with which signals from Echo (satellite) were first received. Crawford was a fine microwave engineer and researcher. He was also an excellent mechanical designer. The antenna was built in the Holmdel shop.www.smecc.org/john_pierce___echoredo.htm
Mr Crawford's Horn Antenna, in Holmdel, New Jersey, is NOW listed as a National Historic Landmark and HERE US WHY..., The Bell Labs antenna on Crawford Hill, in northeastern New Jersey, was designed to trace signals bounced off satellites. But Penzias and Wilson used it to study radio emissions from the Milky Way. They needed quiet. Instead, they found noise -- a strange, maddening hum. www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4655517
The Horn Antenna, in Holmdel, is associated with the research work of two radio astronomers, Dr. Arno A. Penzias and Dr. Robert A. Wilson. In 1965, while using the Horn Antenna, Penzias and Wilson stumbled on the microwave background radiation that permeates the universe. This discovery--the most important in modern astronomy since Edwin Hubble demonstrated in the 1920s that the universe was expanding--provided evidence that confirmed the "Big Bang" theory of the creation of the universe. In 1978 Penzias and Wilson received the Nobel Prize for Physics.
The discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) that provided evidence for the Big Bang. Bell Labs radio astronomers were using a large horn antenna in 1964 and 1965 to map signals from the Milky Way, when they serendipitously discovered the CMB. As written in the citation, "This unexpected discovery, offering strong evidence that the universe began with the Big Bang, ushered in experimental cosmology." Penzias and Wilson shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1978 in honor of their findings.
SO Seems fair to conclude that one of Freehold Borough's own, was a major contributor to one of Science most important discoveries that provided conclusive evidence that proved there was a BIG BANG and origins of the universe.
