Pre-big-bang black-hole remnants and the past low entropy

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2018-12-13 v2 History and Philosophy of Physics

Abstract

Dark matter could be composed by black-hole remnants formed before the big-bang era in a bouncing cosmology. This hypothetical scenario has major implications on the issue of the arrow of time: it would upset a common attribution of past low entropy to the state of the geometry, and provide a concrete realisation to the perspectival interpretation of past low entropy.
