An important part of the scientific method involves reading
the literature.

The cosmic background radiation was measured in 1964.
The Nobel prize for this was awarded in 1978.
The Tim Hunter article was published in 1989.

So why does the article say

???????

Bob and Arno would say that there *is* radiation coming
from every direction in the sky, just as Olbers imagined,
and it started out as bright as the surface of any star,
but during the journey it got redshifted down into the
the EHF band.
