Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation - a question.

Hi,

I was listening to a 365 Days of Astronomy podcast about the CMBR and the person talking was expaining the grainyness in it that led to the current structures that we see in the universe today.

Apart from my head hearting by the end of this he was talking about the large scale structures in the universe being able to be traced back to the time of the CMBR apear as bacterial size structures within the CMBR.

My question is does this mean that the map of 400 000 yrs after the big bang is a microscopic view of the universe as it exists today. Do these bacterial size stuctures that exist within this CMBR represent a(like) blueprint of what the universe looks like today?

If so I find this absolutely amazing. I also heard a podcast from the same guy that was talking about the sound of the big bang based on light waves and he played 10 seconds of what the human ear could hear if the sound which in reality is 50 octaves below what the human ear can hear and that was an awsome sound.
