Going way back to when planets and the sun were forming from small particles being attracted to each other, what set these bodies into motion? I realize that the inertia the planets hold prevent them from being pulled together, but where did this inertia originate? What first made the planets spin and revolve?

I'm reading a book that describes how the COBE (the cosmic background explorer) has detected the echoes of the big bang explosion, if the explosion is still echoing does that not mean that there is something at the edge of the universe to reflect the echoes , or would it just be the fact that the universe is a bubble and the echo has made it's way back?
