Robert Herman is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Physicist; predicted the cosmic microwave background with Alpher
Robert Herman was an American physicist who, with Ralph Alpher in 1948, predicted the existence and approximate temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation left over from the Big Bang, more than fifteen years before its accidental discovery. He later did influential work on traffic-flow theory at General Motors. Born to a Jewish family in New York City, he is widely listed among noted Jewish physicists.
