The fact that the early universe does not have crazy correlations, that's a fact but that's not a very surprising fact, that's just what you would expect. I think it's just a matter of convenience honestly and maybe it's cheating a little bit to even think about future correlations or future behavior when you're coming up with a characterization of the early state. It would be nicer to have a characterization ofthe early state that only referred to the early state itself,. Not to its future time evolution. So I suspect this particular argument is completely irrelevant once you take quantum mechanics into consideration. There's probably some specific rather than saying the early universe is one of various microstates that has the following
Welcome to the April 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
