Consensus is one of the most important parts of the scientific method. It means nearly all cosmologists agree on the general origin of the CMB. Which means nearly everyone else should agree, as well. Because experts are experts, and most others are not. If you're not an expert, you're not qualified to have a fringe "opinion" on the subject.What does "scientific consensus" mean?It is hardly a guess. It is scientific consensus, and therefore what most people should consider the likely answer.
The universe was thought to be 13 billion years old based on the dubious quality of the General Theory of Relativity equations. Ignoring that this is a far-reaching extrapolation of equations that have a questionable relationship to reality, in a situation where we know almost nothing about the laws of physics.
And the same "experts" came up with a fairy tale that microwave background radiation was created once at the beginning of the universe, almost exactly 13 billion years ago.
These "experts" tell you when the universe was created, but they have trouble understanding simple experiments like the Michelson-Morley experiment and formulas such as the Lorentz transformation:
Formal proof that the mathematics on which the Special Theory of Relativity is based is misinterpreted
This is not science, it is religion, or if you prefer, these are fairy tales.
There's nothing wrong with either special or general relativity. Both are robustly supported by many independent lines of evidence.
You are in danger here of being assessed a crank and banned from the forum.
