Fluctuation, Dissipation and the Arrow of Time [PDF]
Entropy, 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.

On the statistical arrow of time [PDF]
, 2023 What is the physical origin for the arrow of time? It is a commonly held belief in the physics community that it relates to the increase of disorder, or entropy, as it appears in the statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics.

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 ...

Demystifying Arrow of Time [PDF]
SSRN Electronic JournalScientific 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.

The arrow of time in Parkinson’s disease
NeuroImage: ClinicalBackground: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a system-level disorder that implicates brain network dynamics across multiple scales. Detecting the ‘arrow of time’, or temporal reversibility of the brain’s information processing flow enables quantification of ...

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

Arrow of Time in Quantum Mechanics and Set Theory
EntropyThe set-theory twist of quantum mechanics uncovers forcing in axiomatic Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory as a viable tool to understand the singularities in a physical spacetime and serves as a link between the quantum and classical worlds. The random forcing

Reversing the Arrow of Time [PDF]
, 2022 The arrow of time refers to the curious asymmetry that distinguishes the future from the past. Reversing the Arrow of Time argues that there is an intimate link between the symmetries of 'time itself' and time reversal symmetry in physical theories ...

Entropy, 2012 Quantum gravity, the initial low entropy state of the Universe, and the problem of time are interlocking puzzles. In this article, we address the origin of the arrow of time from a cosmological perspective motivated by a novel approach to quantum gravitation.

Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - S, 2014 We believe the following three ingredients are enough to explain the mystery of the arrow of time: (1). equations of dynamics of gas molecules, (2). chaotic instabilities of the equations of dynamics, (3). unavoidable perturbations to the gas molecules. The level of physical rigor or mathematical rigor that can be reached for such a theory is unclear.
