摘要
Evrard and Coles, using the argument that we should consider our state of knowledge to be 'minimal', suggest the flatness problem in a dust FRW universe is absent. However, the form of their measure is not consistent with the lack of scale invariance in general relativity when masses are present. Once this invariance is removed, the measure is no longer dominated by fixed points (which are of measure zero) but by transitory ones. One can still obtain the result Omega similar or equal to 1 by a measure that imposes large chi; one such measure that does this is the canonical measure of Gibbons and coworkers.
