Fluctuation, Dissipation and the Arrow of Time [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2011
The recent development of the theory of fluctuation relations has led to new insights into the ever-lasting question of how irreversible behavior emerges from time-reversal symmetric microscopic dynamics.

A Computer's Arrow of Time [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2005
: Some researchers believe that the psychological or consciousness arrow of time is a consequence of the thermodynamic arrow. Some don't. As for many issues in this area, the disagreement revolves about fundamental and undebatable assumptions.

Algebraical Entropy and Arrow of Time

open access: yesEntropy, 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.

Supernovae and the Arrow of Time

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
Supernovae are explosions of stars and are a central problem in astrophysics. Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM) instabilities develop during the star’s explosion and lead to intense interfacial RT/RM mixing of the star materials.

String theory and the arrow of time

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
Time-like linear dilaton triggers, at the classical level, the creation of closed folded strings at an instant. We show that in cosmology these instant folded strings induce negative pressure at no energy cost.

Remarks on the Compatibility of Opposite Arrows of Time

open access: yesEntropy, 2005
: I argue that opposite arrows of time, while being logically possible, cannot realistically be assumed to exist during one and the same epoch of our universe.

Hydrophobic Mesoporous Silica-Coated Solid-Phase Microextraction Arrow System for the Determination of Six Biogenic Amines in Pork and Fish

open access: yesFoods, 2023
In this study, a functionalized mesoporous silica-coated solid-phase microextraction (SPME) Arrow system was developed for the enrichment of six biogenic amines (BAs) from pork and fish samples before gas chromatographic separation with a mass ...

Probability, Arrow of Time and Decoherence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper relates both to the metaphysics of probability and to the physics of time asymmetry. Using the formalism of decoherent histories, it investigates whether intuitions about intrinsic time directedness that are often associated with probability ...

Time, the Arrow of Time, and Quantum Mechanics

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2018
It is brought forward that viable theories of the physical world that have no variable at all that can play the role of time, do not exist; some notion of time is one of the very first ingredients a candidate theory should possess.

A Lenient Causal Arrow of Time?

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
One of the basic assumptions underlying Bell’s theorem is the causal arrow of time, having to do with temporal order rather than spatial separation.
