The INCORRECT statement about Cosmic Microwave Background radiation is:
**it appeared only a few years ago.**
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation is actually the remnant radiation from the Big Bang, and it dates back to approximately 380,000 years after the event, when the universe cooled enough for protons and electrons to combine to form neutral hydrogen atoms. Hence, saying it appeared only a few years ago is incorrect.
