Scientific paper

The author previously argued that the origin of the time asymmetry is to be sought in the processes that characterized the very early cosmological epochs, and that the recent inflationary scenario provides a crucial element in our understanding of this origin. Here, he develops this thesis further, in the light of criticisms by Page. It is argued in particular that any of the "initial states" that appear to be permitted by quantum gravity, if succeeded by a period of inflation, would have wound up the universe to the state from which, as indicated by increasing entropy, it is now winding down.
