entropy of the pre-big-bang medium?
yes and no. The number of possible quantum mechanical states is
increasing with volume. So the entropy of the Universe is increasing,
however it is not increasing as fast as the maximum entropy.
This is one of the quirks of expansion. In fact in the early Universe
the entropy was pretty near its maximum as it was at a uniform
temperature. With expansion matter formed into clumps and temperature
differences emerged.
