The universe has a resolution just like a digital photograph or the environment in a video game. The Planck length and time are the size of the "pixels", which are small enough that we don't see them in everyday life, but if you look close enough, they are there. That's what quantum mechanics is all about. Although I don't think many physicists would jump to describe it in those terms... Actually, there’s evidence for that!

If scientists would think of the universe as bits and bytes and basic algorithms, I'm sure we'd be surprised that it was actually a few exabits worth of 1s all in one block, then they started the timer. Ok now I go back to sleep ;) Seriously, I agree with you the big bang theory doesn't account for anything else than the expansion of the universe and how it might be.
