Professor Dicke was a critic of the theory of relativity as formulated by [[Albert Einstein]].  Instead, Dicke supported an alternative theory with Professor Carl Brans known as the Brans-Dicke theory.  At one point in 1970, after some testing of both theories, Dicke stated publicly that he stood by his theory against against Einstein's.<ref>http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,943324,00.html</ref>

Several of Professor Dicke's accomplishments, including his precise discovery of Big Bang radiation and his invention of the lock-in amplifier, were deserving of a Nobel Prize{{fact}}, but he never received the award.

Dicke almost earned a Nobel Prize for successfully predicting and measuring the cosmic background radiation. Instead the 1978 physics prize went to a couple of phone company experimentalists who were measuring satellite interference and observed the radiation without realizing what it was.
