Abstract

The achievements and shortcomings of the standard hot big bang models of the universe are reviewed. The achievements lie in the predictions of the expanding universe, the abundances of light nuclei, and the MW background. The shortcomings are the evidence for anomalous redshift, the age problem, the low abundances of helium, and the failure to find any feature in the MW background as predicted by the theories of structure formation. A few alternative hypotheses are suggested.
