Much has been said, conjectured, speculated and dreamed about the origin and evolution of the universe, by scientists and non-scientists alike. Any system of thought claiming to provide an understanding of the physical world, made some statement about the origin and evolution of the universe.

Reversible mechanics and time’s arrow
Physical Review A, 1988The microscopic mechanics discovered by Nos\'e, of which Gauss's isokinetic mechanics is a special case, makes it possible to simulate macroscopic irreversible nonequilibrium flows with purely reversible equations of motion. The Gauss-Nos\'e and Nos\'e-Hoover equations of motion explicitly include time-reversible momentum and energy reservoirs ...

While experience tells us that time flows from the past to the present and into the future, a number of philosophical and physical objections exist to this commonsense view of dynamic time. In an attempt to make sense of this conundrum, philosophers and physicists are forced to confront fascinating questions, such as: Can effects precede causes?

Humanity has tried to comprehend two fundamental events since time immemorial: the birth of the universe and the emergence of life. Recently, it is claimed that these events can be understood comprehensively by means of a metaphor: the 'arrow of time.' The purpose of the present paper is twofold: (1) to build an epistemological structure that underlies
