Is the universe breathing‑ unpacking the "coherence growth law"

I came across something called the "Coherence Growth Law." It claims quantum coherence can grow over time, not just decay, and that this proves the universe breathes in a cycle. Is this real physics?

It's real in the sense that some researchers are proposing it but it is not mainstream or accepted cosmology. The idea posits that coherence (order) can increase via the same universal power law as its decay, and proponents cite blind tests on seismic and atomic data as evidence. They interpret this symmetry as a signature of a cyclical, "breathing" universe. It's creative, mathematically interesting, and possibly even publishable in specialized journals. But it is highly speculative and has not survived the rigorous vetting of the broader physics community. Approach with curiosity and caution.
