Witness History: Witness Archive 2015 - Evidence of the Big Bang

In 1964, Dr Robert Wilson and Dr Arno Penzias made an unexpected discovery which became the first proof of the Big Bang Theory. They found cosmic microwave background radiation using a special antenna in Holmdel, New Jersey. Their discovery won them the Nobel Prize. We hear from Dr Robert Wilson.
