How unitary cosmology generalizes thermodynamics and solves the inflationary entropy problem
We analyze cosmology assuming unitary quantum mechanics, using a tripartite partition into system, observer, and environment degrees of freedom. This generalizes the second law of thermodynamics to ‘‘The system’s entropy cannot decrease unless it interacts with the observer, and it cannot increase...
