Abstract

The algorithmic complexity approach to cosmology is discussed. Emphasis is given to the time evolution of the complexity of the Universe. In certain limits, the complexity increases and is not bounded from above, as was implicitly suggested by earlier research. There is no need of "arbitrary choices" in the later stages of the Universe in order to explain a great number of independent physical parameters. Even if, for instance, by some finitistic condition, one could impose conservation of complexity, this measure is intractable and thus hardly useful for an operationalization.
