Abstract

The theory of multiverse and wormholes suggests that the parameters of the Standard Model are fixed in such a way that the radiation of the S3S^{3} universe at the final stage SradS_{rad} becomes maximum, which we call the maximum entropy principle. Although it is difficult to confirm this principle generally, for a few parameters of the Standard Model, we can check whether SradS_{rad} actually becomes maximum at the observed values. In this paper, we regard SradS_{rad} at the final stage as a function of the weak scale ( the Higgs expectation value ) vhv_{h}, and show that it becomes maximum around vh=O(300GeV)v_{h}={\cal{O}}(300\text{GeV}) when the dimensionless couplings in the Standard Model, that is, the Higgs self coupling, the gauge couplings, and the Yukawa couplings are fixed. Roughly speaking, we find that the weak scale is given by \begin{equation} v_{h}\sim\frac{T_{BBN}^{2}}{M_{pl}y_{e}^{5}},\nonumber\end{equation} where yey_{e} is the Yukawa coupling of electron, TBBNT_{BBN} is the temperature where the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis starts and MplM_{pl} is the Planck mass.
