Once the black holes have all evaporated away, we find that the zero of the entropy measure must be reset, because of this great loss of degrees of freedom, which means, in effect, that a very large number gets subtracted from the entropy value, and the allowable states in the ensuing big bang for the following aeon find themselves greatly restricted, so as to satisfy a ‘Weyl curvature hypothesis’, this providing the potential for gravitational clumping in the succeeding aeon.
