Wormholes and the thermodynamic arrow of time
Physical Review Research, 2020 In classical thermodynamics, heat cannot spontaneously pass from a colder system to a hotter system, which is called the thermodynamic arrow of time. However, if the initial states are entangled, the direction of the thermodynamic arrow of time may not ...

Gravitational Entropy and Inflation
Entropy, 2013 The main topic of this paper is a description of the generation of entropy at the end of the inflationary era. As a generalization of the present standard model of the Universe dominated by pressureless dust and a Lorentz invariant vacuum energy (LIVE ...

How many universes are necessary for an ice cream to melt? [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2003 We investigate a quantitative consequence of the Acausal-Anthropic approach to solving the long-standing puzzle of the thermo dynamical arrow of time.

Entropy, 2022 Quantum physics, despite its intrinsically probabilistic nature, lacks a definition of entropy fully accounting for the randomness of a quantum state. For example, von Neumann entropy quantifies only the incomplete specification of a quantum state and ...

Gravitational Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Entropy, 2015 The spontaneous violation of Lorentz and diffeomorphism invariance in a phase near the big bang lowers the entropy, allowing for an arrow of time and the second law of thermodynamics. The spontaneous symmetry breaking leads to

Entropy and Cosmological Arrows of Time
, 2021 Deutsch and Aguirre have recently shown that the solutions of certain dynamical systems typically contain a point of minimum size that they identify as an entropy minimum and from which the size and entropy increase to infinity in both directions of time.

Cosmological Time, Entropy and Infinity
Entropy, 2017 Time is a parameter playing a central role in our most fundamental modelling of natural laws. Relativity theory shows that the comparison of times measured by different clocks depends on their relative motion and on the strength of the gravitational ...

Energies, 2022 Based on the square heat-generation body (HGB) with “arrow-shaped” high-thermal-conductivity channel (HTCC) model established in the previous literature, we performed multi-objective optimization (MOO) with maximum temperature difference (MTD ...

Irreversibility of time in general relativity [PDF]
Известия Саратовского университета. Новая серия: Физика, 2022 Background and Objectives: The equations of classical dynamics of particles and waves admit solutions with the reverse flow of time. Therefore, it is generally assumed that classical dynamics does not reflect the irreversibility of time.
