The Past-Future Asymmetry
Asymmetry block universe decoherence entropy order/disorder phase space spreading theory of relativity thermodynamics thermodynamic probability time travel
2016/6/15
As the past-future asymmetry – that fact that we have records of the past but not the future – is still a puzzle the aim of this paper is twofold: a) to explain the asymmetry and its status in philoso...
Measures, Explanations and the Past: Should 'Special' Initial Conditions be Explained?
second law of thermodynamics initial conditions
2008/4/15
For the generalizations of thermodynamics to obtain, it appears that a very “special” initial condition of the universe is required. Is this initial condition itself in need of explanation? I argue th...
Does a Low-Entropy Constraint Prevent Us from Influencing the Past?
Causation Time Thermodynamics
2008/4/11
David Albert (2000) and Barry Loewer (2007) have argued that the temporal asymmetry of our concept of causal influence or control is grounded in the statistical mechanical assumption of a low-entropy ...
An abstract treatment of Bell inequalities is proposed, in which the parameters characterizing Bell’s observable can be times rather than directions. The violation of a Bell inequality might then be t...
