Entropy, Information, and the Arrow of Time
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2010We shall investigate the relationships between the thermodynamic entropy and information theory and the implications that can be drawn for the arrow of time. This demands a careful study of classical thermodynamics and a review of its fundamental concepts.

Fractals, Entropy and the Arrow of Time
2016Why can we not move backward in time? According to Relativity, time is just one more dimension like length, width and height where we can go as easily backward as forward. What makes time special? Newton’s laws are symmetric in time and so is even Schrodinger’s equation which controls the happenings at the quantum level.

Entropy, Information, and Complexity or Which Aims the Arrow of Time? Scientific Explanation
2021In 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 entropy or a general law of complification.

Vacuum Radiation, Entropy and the Arrow Of Time
2002The root mean square perturbations on particles produced by vacuum radiation must be limited by the uncertainty principle, i.e., 1/2 1/2 =ħ/2, where 1/2 and 1/2 are the root mean square values of drift in spatial and momentum coordinates. The value 1/2 =(ħt/m) 1/2 , where m is the mass of the particle, can be obtained both from classical SED ...

The Arrow of Time, Entropy and the Expansion of the Universe
1976Setting aside the guidance of consciousness, we discover a signpost for time in the physical world itself. The signpost is a rather peculiar one, and I would not venture to say that the discovery of the signpost amounts to the same thing as the discovery of an objective ‘going on of time’ in the universe.

Time Reversal, Entropy, and Computational Evolution: A Unified Perspective on the Arrow of Time
We investigate the fundamental nature of time-reversal symmetry and its progressive breakdown in complex, structured dynamical systems. Drawing on the Fluctuation Theorem and recent advances in quantum time-reversal experiments, we reveal that the process of computational evolution—by which systems develop increasingly sophisticated mechanisms to ...+4 more sources
From Randomness and Entropy to the Arrow of Time
The Element reconstructs, analyses and compares different derivational routes to a grounding of the Arrow of Time in entropy. It also evaluates the link between entropy and visible disorder, and the related claim of an alignment of the Arrow of Time with a development from order to visible disorder.openaire +2 more sources
This paper proposes a unified framework that reconstructs ``time'' as the optimal path of a generalized entropy functional. We no longer view time as a predetermined one-dimensional parameter, but define the ``time arrow'' as an extendable path on the causally consistent history space that makes a certain class of generalized entropy functional take an

Entropy, Information & the Arrow of Time in the Monadic Electron Universe
The study links entropy growth, time-irreversibility, and quantum entanglement to the topology of a single electron–positron world-line (“the monad”) that knots and links through space-time. A topological entropy S_topo is defined as the Boltzmann constant times the logarithm of the path-integral weight Omega(K) for each knot or link class K.openaire +1 more source
