Learn more Book Description Publication Date: March 29, 1996 | ISBN-10: 0521568374 | ISBN-13: 978-0521568371 In the world about us, the past is distinctly different from the future. More precisely, we say that the processes going on in th world about us are asymmetric in time or display an arrow of time. Yet this manifest fact of our experience is particularly diffi explain in terms of the fundamental laws of physics. Newton's laws, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, Einstein's theory gravity, etc., make no distinction between past and future - they are time-symmetric. Reconciliation of these profoundly confl facts is the topic of this volume. It is an interdisciplinary survey of the variety of interconnected phenomena defining arrows o time, and their possible explanations in terms of underlying time-symmetric laws of physics.

Some of the discussion is also recorded, and this add considerably to the reader's understanding and enjoyment of the book....The distinction of the participants and the intrinsic in of the topics discussed make this a book that should be available to all physicists as well as to students of cognate subjects." P Landsberg, Nature "...[provides] an in-depth introduction to a fascinating set of inter-related topics about the nature of time. It is written at a le that is sure to be stimulating to a sophisticated theorist while still accessible to a young graduate student." Gino Segre, Physi Today "...sure to plant the seeds for further lines of investigation on this intriguing and very fundamental set of issues." Robert Wai Foundations of Physics Book Description We say that the processes going on in the world about us are asymmetric in time or display an arrow of time. Yet this manifes of our experience is particularly difficult to explain in terms of the fundamental laws of physics. This volume reconciles these profoundly conflicting facts.
