In 1964, scientists at Bell Labs in Holmdel, N.J., unintentionally discovered cosmic microwave background radiation using the Horn Antenna, which helped confirm the Big Bang theory. The mysterious buzzing noise picked up by the antenna turned out to be crucial evidence for the origins of the universe. This accidental discovery provided significant support for the Big Bang theory and contributed to our understanding of the universe's creation.
