this is actually an indication of an unrecognized process. the problem
arrises as a result of an insistance on using GR and extrapolating
backwards in time. if you don't want nonsensical answers about entropy
increasing regardless of times' direction you must answer the question
of why the universe expands and that requires the existance of an
unrecognized process. entropy incresing into the past is an illusion
in the same sense that you have as many ancestors as descendants.
