Demystifying Arrow of Time [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal
Scientific discussions of the arrow of time often get quite confusing due to highly complex systems they deal with. Popular literature then often coveys messages that tend to get lost in translation. The purpose of this note is to demystify the arrow of time by stripping off the unnecessary complexities and thereby simplifying the discussion.

Arrow of time across five centuries of classical music

Physical Review Research, 2020
The concept of time series irreversibility—the degree by which the statistics of signals are not invariant under time reversal—naturally appears in nonequilibrium physics in stationary systems which operate away from equilibrium and produce entropy. This

Entropy and Time

Entropy, 2020
The idea that entropy is associated with the “arrow of time” has its roots in Clausius’s statement on the Second Law: “Entropy of the Universe always increases.” However, the explicit association of the entropy with time’s arrow arises from Eddington. In

Response time differences between men and women during hand mental rotation.

PLoS ONE, 2019
This study explored gender differences in correct response rates and response times on a task involving left or right arrow selection and another involving the transformation of mental rotation of the hand.

Gaze and Arrows: The Effect of Element Orientation on Apparent Motion is Modulated by Attention

Vision, 2017
In two experiments we investigated whether stimuli that elicit automatic orienting of attention (i.e., arrow or averted gaze) could drive apparent motion perception in one of two possible directions, modulating the effect of a low-level property (the ...

Modeling the Arrows of Time with Causal Multibaker Maps

Entropy
Why do we remember the past, and plan the future? We introduce a toy model in which to investigate emergent time asymmetries: the causal multibaker maps. These are reversible discrete-time dynamical systems with configurable causal interactions. Imposing
