Clearly the rising entropy ceiling was involved in the universe getting out of the near-equilibrium state of the big bang to the current far-from-equilibrium state. Also clearly, it was not *instrumental* in doing so, since it's an emergent effect. The fact that it isn't fundamental means that it effectively *tracks* the effects of how fundamental physics responds to the expansion of the universe, rather than being causative. But I've already argued this at length in several threads on the subject of "retrocausal" explanations of EPR, so I won't go on about it again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
