The Big Bang theory provides explanations for several fundamental questions about the universe, such as:
- The Origin of the Universe: It describes how the universe began from an extremely hot and dense state and has been expanding over time.
- Cosmic Background Radiation: It explains the existence of the cosmic microwave background radiation as a remnant from the early stages of the universe.
- Element Formation: It accounts for the relative abundance of light elements (such as hydrogen, helium, and lithium) formed during the first few minutes after the Big Bang.
However, the Big Bang theory does not specifically answer questions related to:
- What happened before the Big Bang: The theory does not provide insight into the conditions or events preceding the Big Bang itself, or whether time and space as we know them existed before it.
