I think of the Past Hypothesis as "entropy was low at the beginning of our observable universe.” It's definitely true, but it would be great if we could *derive* it without explicitly violating time symmetry, rather than simply postulating it.https://twitter.com/PhilSciArchive/status/1083832934618951680 …

Different notions of time symmetry. I’m talking about statistical symmetry of early and late conditions, not T invariance of the Lagrangian.

so the trouble of all this lies in the fact that our QFTs don’t know about the arrow of time, and you’re saying (I think) it’d be preferred construct a model that explains how/when these fundamental particles “know” in which direction their entropy should increase, or something
