Abstract

Continuous Spontaneous Localisation (CSL) is a phenomenological model proposing a stochastic modification of the Schroödinger equation for solving the measurement problem. We suggest how a CSL-like stochastic modification of the Wheeler-deWitt equation can solve the problem of time and the quantum to classical transition in the vicinity of the Big Bang, while shedding light on preferred values for the cosmological constant.
