After confirmation of the Hubble's law by observation, the two most popular cosmological theories became the Steady State theory of Hoyle, Gold and Bondi, and the big bang theory of Ralph Alpher, George Gamow, and Robert Dicke with a small number of supporters of a smattering of alternatives.

Carl Brans and Robert Dicke were able to successfully incorporate Mach's principle into general relativity which admitted for cosmological solutions that would imply a variable mass.

The most common form of microwave radiometer was introduced by Robert Dicke in 1946.

In 1961, the physicist Robert H. Dicke claimed that certain forces in physics, such as gravity and electromagnetism, must be perfectly fine-tuned for life to exist anywhere in the Universe.

Based upon the Anthropic principle, physicist Robert H. Dicke proposed the " Dicke coincidence " argument that the structure ( age, physical constants, etc.

Their prediction was rediscovered by Robert Dicke and Yakov Zel ' dovich in the early 1960s with the first published recognition of the CMB radiation as a detectable phenomenon appeared in a brief paper by Soviet astrophysicists A. G. Doroshkevich and Igor Novikov, in the spring of 1964.

In 1965, Arno Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson at the Crawford Hill location of Bell Telephone Laboratories in nearby Holmdel Township, New Jersey had built a Dicke radiometer that they intended to use for radio astronomy and satellite communication experiments.

* 1992 Robert H. Dicke ( inventor of the lock-in amplifier )

Robert Henry Dicke ( May 6, 1916 – March 4, 1997 ) was an American physicist who made important contributions to the fields of astrophysics, atomic physics, cosmology and gravity.

Naturally, Dicke, with David Todd Wilkinson and Peter G. Roll immediately set about building a Dicke radiometer to search for the radiation, but they were famously scooped by the accidental detection made by Arno Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson ( also using a Dicke radiometer ), who were working at Bell Labs just a few miles from Princeton.

Robert Dicke is also responsible for developing the lock-in amplifier, which is an indispensable tool in the area of applied science and engineering.

Some believe that Robert Dicke deserved a Nobel Prize just for the invention of such a powerful and ubiquitous device.
