A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

The CMBR was the first light that could ever actually go a long distance in the universe, as before that the universe was opaque plasma. When the universe cooled to a threshold it the. Became transparent to light. This light was released in all directions at all points, which is why we still see it today. It will be detectable until the universe's expansion speeds up to a point where it outpaces the speed of light.
There are some patterns in the CMBR but only due to density fluctuations. A fascinating topic to look into is the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations. Small quantum density variations that were expanded rapidly as the big bang started going into overdrive that have shaped the universe on an immense scale.
I don't have time to answer every question you have sadly, and I'm just someone who really enjoys learning about this stuff in their free time. The channel I mentioned has videos on all of this. I highly suggest you start watching those if you actually want an in depth understanding of this.
