Contribution

It proposes a novel mechanism based on quantum inequalities and the quantum interest conjecture, involving anti-states at quantum gravity scales to unify several cosmological and quantum phenomena.

Findings

Addresses the arrow of time problem

Supports inflation as a solution to flatness and horizon problems

Provides insights into matter-antimatter asymmetry

Abstract

We propose a mechanism for restoring classical energy conditions at quantized level based on quantum inequalities and quantum interest conjecture. More concretely, we assume for each quantum state in our visible universe to have anti-state trapped at quantum gravity scale (or true vacuum in inflation terminology). The proposed mechanism answers many outstanding questions related to the arrow of time problem, possible interpretation of the weakness of gravity and hierarchy problem, the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, matter-antimatter asymmetry. Moreover, the proposed mechanism gives a strong endorsement to inflation as a possible solution of flatness and horizon problems.
