There was NO resonance involved in the experiment by Penzias and Wilson.
Sorry goober...but you and your supporters are just wrong...it isn't as if it would have been that tough to actually look it up...took me a couple of seconds...
1964.

Working at
Bell Labs in
Holmdel, New Jersey, in 1964,
Arno Penzias and
Robert Wilson were experimenting with a supersensitive, 6 meter (20 ft)
horn antenna originally built to detect
radio waves bounced off
Echo balloon satellites.
To measure these faint radio waves, they had to eliminate all recognizable interference from their receiver. They removed the effects of
radar and
radio broadcasting, and suppressed interference from the heat in the receiver itself by cooling it with liquid
helium to −269 °C, only 4 K above
absolute zero.
There was NO resonance involved in the experiment by Penzias and Wilson.
Sorry guy, but you are acting like a religious zealot...it says right in the paper describing the experiment of Penzias and Wilson that they were, in fact, measuring radio frequencies...they weren't looking for CMB...they were there to measure radio frequencies and that is what they did...they discovered CMB via resonance radio waves...

In addition, they had the instrument cooled to -269C....
They directly measured the CMB using a radiometer - a device for measuring the radiant flux (power) of electromagnetic radiation. It was an instrument warmer than the source. I repeat there were no "resonance radio frequencies", (A term you made up.) If you google that phrase you made up, you will find only 8 results, and none of them refer to IR detectors.
The article continues....
from article said:
When Penzias and Wilson reduced their data they found a
low, steady, mysterious noise that persisted in their receiver. This residual noise was 100 times more intense than they had expected, was evenly spread over the sky, and was present day and night.
They were certain that the radiation they detected on a wavelength of 7.35 centimeters did not come from the
Earth, the
Sun, or
our galaxy. After thoroughly checking their equipment, removing some
pigeons nesting in the antenna and cleaning out the accumulated
droppings, the noise remained. Both concluded that this
noise was coming from outside our own galaxy—although they were not aware of any radio source that would account for it.
OK...first...7.35 centimeters...that is CENTIMETERS...which is the wavelength they received that is in question is a radio frequency.....second the article states clearly that the weren't aware of any RADIO source that would account for that particular radio frequency....At this point, you are just being f'ing stupid...
So your statement,...a resonance radio frequency was what was measured....not IR...is totally erroneous and meaningless.
Perhaps it is meaningless to you..but then that isn't really saying much is it?....I would imagine that the authors expect that anyone reading such material would know that CMB the CMB was detected via a resonance radio frequency...

In 1964, two American scientists, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, discovered a faint radio noise whose origin they could not, at first, identify Further investigation re- vealed that the radiation had a cosmic origin and that th.e intensity of the radiation was the same in whatever direc- tion they looked.
So that measurement of the CMB actually was a measurable, observable, repeatable experiment illustrating that energy from a cold object can hit a warmer object.
And in your dogma induced zeal, you failed to note that even then, the instrument was cooled to a temperature of just 4 degrees above absolute zero.
