Algebraical Entropy and Arrow of Time [PDF]
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.

Beyond the Arrow of Time: Can There Be a Relation between the Measurement of Entropy and Time? [PDF]
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, Information and Complexity or Which Aims the Arrow of Time? [PDF]
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 ...

Arrow of time and gravitational entropy in collapse [PDF]
We 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.

Entropy production and the arrow of time [PDF]
We present an exact relationship between the entropy production and the distinguishability of a process from its time-reverse, quantified by the relative entropy between forward and backward states.

Arrow of Time, Entropy, and Protein Folding: Holistic View on Biochirality [PDF]
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.

Time arrow without past hypothesis: a toy model explanation [PDF]
The laws of Physics are time-reversible, making no qualitative distinction between the past and the future—yet we can only go towards the future. This apparent contradiction is known as the ‘arrow of time problem’.

Influence of Thermodynamic Arrow of Time on Entropy
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.

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 ...

Small and Simple Systems That Favor the Arrow of Time [PDF]
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
