Gravitational entropy and the flatness, homogeneity and isotropy puzzles

We suggest a new explanation for the observed large scale flatness, homogeneity and isotropy of the universe. The basic ingredients are Einstein's theory of gravity and Hawking's method of computing the gravitational entropy. The new twist is provided by the boundary conditions we recently...
