Tunneling of Macroscopic Universes
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
2015-06-25 v1
Abstract
The meaning of `tunneling' in a timeless theory such as quantum cosmology is discussed. A recent suggestion of `tunneling' of the macroscopic universe at the classical turning point is analyzed in an anisotropic and inhomogeneous toy model. This `inhomogeneous tunneling' is a local process which cannot be interpreted as a tunneling of the universe.
