Big bang as the collapse of an ordered spin system

International Journal of Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The entropy of a spin system interacting with a free particle representing the inertia of the universe in the early stages is calculated. The conversion from a state of minimum entropy and minimum inertia with maximum spin order to a state of maximum entropy andmaximum inertia is analogized to the big bang.
