The Time-Asymmetry and the Entropy Gap
Abstract
The universe time-asymmetry is essentially produced by its low-entropy unstable initial state. Using quanlitative arguments, Paul Davies has demonstrated that the universe expansion may diminish the entropy gap, therefore explaining its low-entropy state, with respect to the maximal possible entropy at any time. This idea is implemented in a qualitative way in a simple homogeneous model. Some rough coincidence with observational data are found
