Algebraical Entropy and Arrow of Time [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 Usually, it is supposed that irreversibility of time appears only in macrophysics. Here, we attempt to introduce the microphysical arrow of time assuming that at a fundamental level nature could be non-associative.

Entropy, Information and Complexity or Which Aims the Arrow of Time? [PDF]
Entropy, 2015 In this article, we analyze the interrelationships among such notions as entropy, information, complexity, order and chaos and show using the theory of categories how to generalize the second law of thermodynamics as a law of increasing generalized ...

Beyond the Arrow of Time: Can There Be a Relation between the Measurement of Entropy and Time? [PDF]
Proceedings, 2017 The general tendency of the entropy of an isolated to increase is considered to be directly linked to the direction of the flow of time. This raises the question whether a quantitative relation can be established such that a time interval can be measured

Entropy and the arrow of time in population dynamics [PDF]
Biosystems, 2022 The concept of entropy in statistical physics is related to the existence of irreversible macroscopic processes. In this work, we explore a recently introduced entropy formula for a class of stochastic processes with more than one absorbing state that is extensively used in population genetics models.

Influence of Thermodynamic Arrow of Time on Entropy
Physical Science International Journal, 2023 This study assessed the influence of thermodynamic arrow of time on entropy for boiled cooling water (physical process), the universe and the air (natural process). This was done by determining the entropies of boiled water, the universe and air.

Arrow of Time, Entropy, and Protein Folding: Holistic View on Biochirality [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Chirality is a universal phenomenon, embracing the space–time domains of non-organic and organic nature. The biological time arrow, evident in the aging of proteins and organisms, should be linked to the prevalent biomolecular chirality.

Arrow of time: Metaphorical construals of entropy and the second law of thermodynamics
Science Education, 2012 AbstractVarious features of scientific discourse have been characterized in the science education literature, and challenges students face in appropriating these features have been explored. Using the framework of conceptual metaphor, this paper sought to identify explicit and implicit metaphors in pedagogical texts dealing with the concept of entropy ...

Journal of High Energy Physics Gravitation and Cosmology, 2021 First, we do a Taylor series expansion of Entropy. Afterwards we define the arrow of time. After that, we define what terms we will analyze in the Taylor series expansion of entropy to help in finding initial conditions which may allow for the earliest ...

Arrow of time and gravitational entropy in collapse [PDF]
Classical and Quantum GravityWe investigate the status of the gravitational arrow of time in the case of a spherical collapse of a fluid that conducts heat and radiates energy. In particular, we examine the results obtained by W. B.

Small and Simple Systems That Favor the Arrow of Time [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 The 2nd law of thermodynamics yields an irreversible increase in entropy until thermal equilibrium is achieved. This irreversible increase is often assumed to require large and complex systems to emerge from the reversible microscopic laws of physics. We
