Cosmic Inflation and the Arrow of Time | Andreas Albrecht
; | Date: |
24 Oct 2002 | Subject: | astro-ph gr-qc hep-th | Abstract: | Cosmic inflation claims to make the initial conditions of the standard big bang "generic". But Boltzmann taught us that the thermodynamic arrow of time arises from very non-generic ("low entropy") initial conditions. I discuss how to reconcile these perspectives. The resulting insights give an interesting way to understand inflation and also compare inflation with other ideas that claim to offer alternative theories of initial conditions. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0210527 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
