Probabilistic Evolutionary Process: a possible solution to the problem of time in quantum cosmology and creation from nothing

TL;DR

The paper proposes the probabilistic evolutionary process, a quantum-based approach to address the problem of time in quantum cosmology, linking it with thermodynamics and universe creation from nothing.

Contribution

It introduces the probabilistic evolutionary process as a novel quantum method to resolve the problem of time and interpret universe creation in quantum cosmology.

Findings

Provides a quantum interpretation of universe creation from nothing.

Offers a new perspective on the arrow of time consistent with thermodynamics.

Suggests a quantum solution with no classical counterpart.

Abstract

We present a method, which we shall call the probabilistic evolutionary process, based on the probabilistic nature of quantum theory to offer a possible solution to the problem of time in quantum cosmology. It offers an alternative for perceiving an arrow of time which is compatible with the thermodynamical arrow of time and makes a new interpretation of the FRW universe in vacua which is consistent with creation of a de Sitter space-time from nothing. This is a completely quantum result with no correspondence in classical cosmology.
