The cherry on top is a proposal for a Janus-faced universe with the arrow of time pointing in two directions at a low entropy big bang with entropy increasing in both directions from that low entropy start. Kind of like starting at zero and going in both the negative and positive number direction and calling each way the progression of time unfolding.

The final part of the book is the two-faced or Janus-faced universe a low entropy starting point in time at the big bang, with time flowing to ever-increasing entropy in both directions from this zero time point.

The big bang was remarkably smooth and low entropy, which is a puzzle. Why was entropy so low at the time of the Big Bang. Low enough to allow us to exist in a low enough entropy time 13 billion years later.

Back to gas in a box and Poincare recurrence time for the gas to go to a really low entropy state. Carroll argues that our picture of cosmology might be the same as gas in a box with its own much longer Poincare Recurrence time.
