CMBR and quantum fluctuations

CMBR and quantum fluctuations

Wikipedia tells us that something called “Quantum fluctuations” occur at random
in space and time. This refers to matter & antimatter particle pairs coming
into existence and colliding to produce a photon in their place. Random
distribution in particle creation and photon trajectory is assumed.

The observable universe is 13.7 +/- 0.2 billion light years in all directions.
The cmbr is light in the form of microwaves coming at us from all directions
almost completely uniformly. For a photon that was created in vacuo by particle
pair creation (Quantum flux) it would have to be extremely close, as the chance
that these photons are on an intercept course for earth drops off exponentially
the farther away their source of origin is. The math to this possibility is, as
best as I can formulate = ( 360 degrees – plank angle) * (180 degrees minus
plank degree) / distance^2. All you applied math majors, please feel free to
correct this.

The majority of the CMBR that we observe therefore must come from extremely
close to the planet/observer, because remember the farther away from us, the
exp^2 its likelihood of shining into our telescopes. All of our satellites would
be closed in CMBR as well, but nothing of the sort (a bubble of light sources
enveloping celestial bodies) is reported by any space agency.

Thus we can discount Quantum fluctuations as being the (primary) source of CMBR
