Why did it take so long for our solar system to form?

​Proof of the Big Bang: Doppler Effect

​Cosmic Background Radiation is the microwave radiation that fills all space in the universe.

After the Big Bang waves of orange energy erupted from a single point.
As the waves stretched and cooled they began to form atoms, and some of the energy continued to expand forming the background radiation we see today.

These waves must have come from something large and hot. This is the only explanation of how microwaves could permeate all edges of the universe.
