These are the mysterious dark matter, or most of it anyway. The cosmic background radiation itself began to shine when the universe was 300,000 years old, but the temperature fluctuations were set in place when it was just a split-second old.

He looked out of place among the soft, comfortable suburbanites that came to toast his accomplishment...
...statement cites a United Nations (U.N.) estimate that 24.5 million people in sub-Saharan African were infected with HIV at the end of 1999. The HIV virus is deadly if left untreated and the statement argues that the social fabric and economic situation of highly affected nations will further deteriorate if the virus is left untreated.
