It could be that it is actually not low entropy, and there are some other processes that explain a recution in entropy at some scale. That is, maybe the second law of thermodynamics is not that universal.


That would be really weird. I'd be more willing to buy galaxies just coming into existence somehow in the gaps as the universe expands, as that at least drives the arrow of time consistently in the right direction.

The arrow of time can survive local entropy reduction, but probably not what you're talking about.
