Weyl curvature hypothesis
E1102256
UNEXPLORED
The Weyl curvature hypothesis is Roger Penrose’s proposal that the universe began in an extremely low-gravitational-entropy, highly ordered state characterized by vanishing Weyl curvature, providing a geometric explanation for the cosmological arrow of time.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T14506020 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Hartle–Hawking no-boundary proposal
The Hartle–Hawking no-boundary proposal is a quantum cosmological model suggesting that the universe is finite but without an initial temporal boundary, replacing the classical Big Bang singularity with a smooth, boundaryless beginning described by quantum gravity.
-
B.
“Cosmological event horizons, thermodynamics, and particle creation”
“Cosmological event horizons, thermodynamics, and particle creation” is a seminal paper by Gary W. Gibbons that explores the thermodynamic properties and quantum particle production associated with cosmological event horizons in expanding universes.

D.
Hawking–Penrose singularity theorems
The Hawking–Penrose singularity theorems are foundational results in general relativity that show, under broad physical conditions, spacetime must contain singularities such as those inside black holes or at the Big Bang.
