Exploration of the
Universe would increase when astronomers learned to use infrared,
microwaves, and other components of the electromagnetic wave
spectrum. Up until the 1920's astronomer’s observation was
hindered by their tools. During World War II, technology advanced on
the use of radio transmission. Astronomers realized that they
could use this technology to see the Universe, not with
"eyes," but through the transmission and reception of
microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma
rays. The Universe would slowly unfold its secrets to researchers. Presently
new advances in the technical ability to search the Universe, has
allowed some of Einstein's mathematical theories to be proved or
disproved. However, the field is still in its infancy.
