Smooth Initial Conditions from Weak Gravity
arXiv:0911.0693 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2011.02.004
Abstract
CMB measurements reveal an unnaturally smooth early universe. We propose a mechanism to make this smoothness natural by weakening the strength of gravity at early times, and therefore altering which initial conditions have low entropy.
