In this article we will try to give a pale idea to the reader of what could be the Cosmic Microwave Background (RCFM) that, according to the traditional Big Bang model, was generated by a primordial explosion. With this purpose we find it very important to present a brief historical summary of how the Microcosm, based on the Standard Model of Elementary Particle Physics (MPPE), and the Macrocosm, based on the Standard Big Bang Model (MPBB), have evolved over time. In addition, in the final part of the article we will analyze the two physical processes presented in the literature that seek to explain the RCFM: Bariogenesis and Plasma Quark-Gluon.
