In 1945, radar engineer Percy Spencer noticed something strange — standing near a magnetron melted the candy in his pocket.
That accident became the microwave oven — a tech now in nearly every home.
But microwaves go far beyond popcorn — they're used in space tech, military radar, medical treatments, and more.
This is the story of the invention nobody planned… but the world couldn’t live without.
