5 min problem.

The 5 min problem, is described as the world we know was created 5 mins ago. You can't tell it wasn't this way because all the evidence points to it having always existed in both cases.

Bizarely, Entropy is maximised if this is true. Which alledgedly makes it more likely.

If I accept the argument that entropy is maximised if the world is only just created, and systems with most entropy are the most easy systems to be in existance, then the most likely idea, is that the world is always just created.

I really like that. At the end of time, the whole world just is. And always has been.

Sadly I think the assumption that the world came into existance isn't certain.

Edited to swop minimised for maximsied.
