Cosmic inflation solves the ‘past hypothesis’ problem

<p>Right now, at this very moment, the total amount of entropy contained within the observable Universe is greater than it&rsquo;s ever been before. Tomorrow&rsquo;s entropy will be even greater, while yesterday, the entropy wasn&rsquo;t quite as great as it is today. With each passing moment, inevitably, the Universe inches closer to a maximum entropy state known as the &ldquo;heat death&rdquo; of the Universe: a situation where all the particles and fields have reached their lowest-energy, equilibrium state, and no further energy can be extracted to perform any useful, order-creating tasks.</p> <p>The reason for this is as simple as it is inevitable:&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">the second law of thermodynamics</a>. It states that the entropy of a closed, self-contained system can only increase or, in the ideal case, stay the same over time; it can never go down.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/cosmic-inflation-solves-the-past-hypothesis-problem-8fd5bf4f317f"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
