The Smearing Out of the Thermal Initial Conditions Created in a Planck Era

Abstract

In this paper the quantum heat transport in a Planck gas in the presence of the potential (other than the thermal one) is investigated. The new quantum heat transport equation which generalizes our potential-free QHT is developed. The thermal wave solution of QHT for a Planck gas is obtained and a condition for distortionless propagation of thermal wave is formulated. It is argued that the initial conditions of the Beginning (i.e., at t=0) are smeared in the time scale of the Planck time.
