I asked partly because I'm not absolutely certain, but it appears, to the best of my limited capability to understand, that Narlikar and Hoyle were proposing a universe that was unlimited in size and time, and yet where matter was being created. I can't say it's easy to understand. :-? |
Hang on: matter creation?
In this case, I would not consider the Universe strictly a closed system.
You could model the Universe as an open system in contact with another system (where the matter comes from).
This other system would then provide the entropy for the Universe.
