The Big Bang theory has limitations from "summary" of Endless Universe by Paul J. Steinhardt,Neil Turok
The Big Bang theory, while successful in many respects, has limitations that prevent it from providing a complete and satisfactory explanation of the origins and evolution of the universe. One major limitation is that the theory does not account for what happened before the Big Bang itself. According to the theory, the universe emerged from a singularity – a point of infinite density and temperature – but it cannot explain how or why this singularity came into existence. In other words, the theory does not address the question of what caused the Big Bang to occur in the first place. Furthermore, the Big Bang theory is unable to explain certain observed features of the universe, such as its large-scale structure and the uniformity of the cosmic microwave background radiation. While the theory can account for the distribution of galaxies and clusters of galaxies on large scales, it struggles to explain the precise patterns of structure that we observe. Similarly, the theory cannot explain why the cosmi...
