I Could the Universe's Early State Be a Superposition of High and Low Entropy?

[Adrian Lee]

Today I came over an article(preprint)named “time’s arrow points to many worlds”,by a Chinese researcher (who is a supporter of collapse theories himself?)
He introduced the”past hypothesis “,which is the hypothesis that the universe started as a low entropy state.(See Hawking,Wallace and others).He thinks that this isn’t necessary and he instead thinks it is possible that the early universe could be a superposition of a high entropy state and a low entropy state.In this case, the observed thermal dynamical time can only be explained by anthropological terms of quantum many worlds.
In his other article he cited this paper and “moreover,the observed thermaldynamical time may be a strong evidence of the existence of many worlds.”
I’d like to know more about the hypothesis and the significance of his claims?

What article? Please give a link.

What article? Please give a link.

It’s preprint,so I can’t give it.In order not to be banned I just gave the main idea,and my main question is about the past hypothesis.(the article itself is very short within pages.)

It’s preprint,so I can’t give it.

Huh? Preprints are routinely published on arxiv.org.

If you can't give it, we can't talk about it.

Thread closed.

my main question is about the past hypothesis

Then you need to find a reference you can give about the past hypothesis, and ask your question based on what that reference says. Since you mentioned Hawking, Wallace and others, you should have no trouble finding a valid reference.
