The scale-insignificance of the small, old stuff is a part of this discussion, as it is a key aspect of the transition. The entropy state is part of the story too, of course, but is far from the dominant one. | |
| Feb 20, 2021 at 20:18 | comment | added | Philip Klöcking♦ | I think that what he describes is rather something like "perfect entropy", where energy is dispersed uniformly across the universe to a point that there is virtually none in any meaningful part of spacetime. That is quite different from "but if we are infinitely small compared to the universe, doesn't that mean that we really do not have size at all?", which involves the idea of absolute space/reference frames which Penrose would never subscribe to. | |
