Violation ofCPT invariance in the typical universe

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

We show that the understanding of the problem of time asymmetry can be reached proceeding from the hypothesis of typicalness of the Universe. We come to the following consequences: 1) the cosmological arrow of time, in general, should not coincide with the thermodynamic one; 2) the thermodynamic arrow should not change its direction, while the Universe turns from the expanding phase to the contracting one; 3) CPT-invariance has to be violated. The last prediction, in principle, allows experimental verification.
