De Sitter Space Without Dynamical Quantum Fluctuations
Book •
This paper by Boddy, Carroll, and Pollack challenges conventional wisdom by suggesting that de Sitter space does not experience dynamical quantum fluctuations.
They argue that such fluctuations require evolving microstates or time-dependent histories of out-of-equilibrium recording devices, which are absent in stationary states.
This reasoning has implications for theories like eternal inflation and the Boltzmann brain problem.
