Wilson and Penzias vs. Davis and Bahcall

I think that serendipity played a role in the discovery of the two topics discussed. It was just luck. Wilson and Penzias could have worked for 40 years they just got lucky and didn't have to.

Nobel Prizes tend to favor the experimentalists. Bachall didn't win the prize he was the theorist.
