论文摘要
最近有尝试从第一原则和在标准框架内证明经典行为的出现。考虑到这种出现是一个重要的问题,因为它是我们当前对宇宙学理解的非凡经验成功的基础。在这项工作中,我们对在标准框架内解释宇宙学中经典行为的出现进行了不同的努力。我们认为,这种努力通常缺乏概念上的清晰度,因为它们总是依赖于不合理的,隐式的假设或循环逻辑。我们得出的结论是,在标准方法中,宇宙学中经典行为的出现构成了一种无法解释的现象。
There have been recent attempts at justifying, from first principles, and within the standard framework, the emergence of classical behavior in the post-inflationary cosmological context. Accounting for this emergence is an important issue, as it underlies the extraordinary empirical success of our current understanding of cosmology. In this work, we offer a critique of different efforts at explaining the emergence of classical behavior in cosmology within the standard framework. We argue that such endeavors are generically found lacking in conceptual clarity, as they invariably rely, either upon unjustified, implicit assumptions, or on circular logic. We conclude that, within the standard approach, the emergence of classical behavior in cosmology constitutes an unexplained phenomenon.
