Did anyone see George Smoot, the astrophysicist that won the Nobel Prize in Physics, for "helping cement the big-bang theory of the universe using the Cosmic Background Explorer Satellite (COBE)," on the prime time show tonight, Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?-While reading his info on Wikpedia I came across this quote of his; "-after the COBE research team announced on 23 April 1992 that the satellite [COBE] had detected tiny fluctuations in the CMB, a breakthrough in the study of the early universe. The observations were "evidence for the birth of the universe" and Smoot said on the importance of his discovery that "If you're religious, it's like looking at God."-I'm not really understanding exactly what it was he saw that he believes was "like looking at God?" Anyone?-It was amazing how fast someone added this new feat of Smoots on Wikipedia, while I was reading it! -Oh, and by the way, he won the million! Only the second person to do so. So, yes, he is smarter than a fifth grader...so glad to hear it!!!
