The Time-Asymmetry and the Entropy Gap

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\thinspace in a simple homogeneous model. Some rough coincidence with observational data are found

Entropy gap and time asymmetry II

In this letter the paper [R. Aquilano, M. Castagnino, Mod. Phys. Lett A,11, 755 (1996)] is improved by considering that the main source of entropy production are the stars photospheres.
