The Physics Teacher, 1967
This article is taken from an introductory textbook by the author, scheduled for publication early in 1968; it represents the concluding section of a chapter on entropy and the second law of thermodynamics. It attempts to draw together the microscopic and macroscopic threads of physics as applied to the concept of time.

We are commemorating the work of a great scientist — Josef Loschmidt. Inevitably, we look at his achievements through modern eyes. My aim will not only be to look at one of his contributions, the so-called Loschmidt paradox, from my own point of view, inevitably involving more recent knowledge, but also to draw attention to the philosophical background

Abstract ‘The arrow of time’ discusses where the arrow of time comes from. The fundamental laws of motion do not distinguish past and future. And yet the everyday world is full of manifestly asymmetric processes. This chapter discusses the apparent mismatch between the fundamental laws of nature and the manifest asymmetry of the everyday

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.
