What invention was led by walking by a radar tube and melting chocolate?
The microwave oven was invented after a researcher Percy Spencer walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.
When was the first microwave invented and by whom?
An engineer named Percy Spencer, who was involved with the construction of magnetrons for use in radar. (A magnetron is the microwave generating part of a microwave oven.) He worked for Raytheon, and when he found a melted chocolate bar partially melted in his pocket, he deduced that leaking microwave energy was the cause. To test his theory, he put food in a metal box and microwaved it, and it heated up very quickly. On the 8th of October, 1945, Raytheon filed for a patent, and the microwave oven was born.
Why does your white chocolate turn brown in microwave?

You should use a lower microwave setting and do it in smaller increments to see if it melted but not burnt..
How to make melted chocolate quickly?
Chocolate will melt quickly in the microwave, however it will also burn easily as well. The safest way to melt chocolate is to use a double boiler. A small amount of water is heated to boiling in the bottom pot. Use chocolate chips rather than large pieces of chocolate. Place the chips into a smaller pot that will balance on top of the bottom pot.
