The Arrow of Time

The Arrow of Time

Why does time seem to flow in only one direction? How does this arise from time-symmetric physics?

Timothian Model's Short Answer...

Time's arrow emerges from medium's tendency toward more homogenous distributions.

Details

Time's arrow emerges from chunk medium dynamics:

  • Irreversibility arises from the tendency of chunks to move towards more homogeneous distributions.

  • Connects the arrow of time to the increase of entropy in a mechanistic way.

  • Resolves the apparent conflict between microscopic reversibility and macroscopic irreversibility.
