The spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation - the flash of the Big Bang, aligns almost precisely with the shape of the Black Body radiation curve. This means that the CMB radiation came from a state that was in thermal equilibrium.
Since thermal equilibrium is a state of maximum entropy, doesn't this means that there is a theoretical maximum to the entropy of our observable universe? i.e. entropy can not (overall) continue increasing forever, it must eventually reach a maximum and stop?
Thanks in advance,
