There is much debate about the arrow time. (Related disciplines are thermodynamics, statistical physics, quantum mechanics, gravity, inflation, so it gets technical.) Here are some good papers, look them up at http://arxiv.org http://arxiv.org Hollands and Wald. An Alternative to Inflation. arXiv (2002) vol. gr-qc Wald.
