Out of curiosity, which discrepancies are you referring to? > As for the Big Bang.. OK so what happened before the big bang? There are many theories on this subject and, as you might suspect, it is rather difficult to suss out. The most dominant current theory, as far as I understand, is rather technical but the picture ends up looking like a pair of pants. Two sort of mostly parallel tubes that converged into a singularity and then the big bang was born. And, if I recall, the math to that one argues that time, as a dimension, is an artifact of the singularity and hence there really wasn't a "before" because there was no time. On the other hand, I believe that Roger Penrose is coming out with a new book that argues against the theory of the Big Bang, in the sense of a suddenly inflationary universe. I would say that physicists consider the Big Bang the most dominant theory at the current time but by no means completely settled and within the confines of the notion of a Big Bang there is still a great deal to sort out, so stay tuned.
