Abstract

This paper shows how increased entropy values from an initially low big bang level can be measured experimentally by counting relic gravitons. Furthermore the physical mechanism of this entropy increase is explained via analogies with early-universe phase transitions. The rapid increase in entropy so alluded to without near sudden increases up to 10 to the 88 power may be enough to allow successful modeling of relic graviton production for entropy in a manner similar to zero point energy extraction from a vacuum state
