Why do we celebrate National Microwave Oven Day?

Percy Spencer, a self-taught American engineer, stumbled upon a method for using microwaves to safely heat food. He noticed a melting chocolate bar in his pocket while operating an active radar in 1945. The strong microwave beams produced a heating effect that was perfect for cooking. Spencer made a conscious effort to microwave-cook popcorn. He then attempted to fry an egg. The egg and the popcorn both produced striking effects. But unlike the egg, the popcorn was successful. In the face of his fellow engineer, the egg exploded! However, microwave ovens can be used to cook eggs.
