Three puzzles in cosmology

High Energy Physics - Theory 2021-02-03 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

Cosmology presents us with several puzzles that are related to the fundamental structure of quantum theory. We discuss three such puzzles, linking them to effects that arise in black hole physics. We speculate that puzzles in cosmology may be resolved by the vecro structure of the vacuum that resolves the information paradox and the `bags of gold' problem for black holes.
