Reversing the arrow of time / / Bryan W. Roberts, London School of Economics and Political Science.
The arrow of time refers to the curious asymmetry that distinguishes the future from the past. Reversing the Arrow of Time argues that there is an intimate link between the symmetries of 'time itself' and time reversal symmetry in physical theories, which has wide-ranging implications for...

Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2022. 1 online resource (xi, 251 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index. 1. A brief history of time reversal; 2. What time reversal means; 3. Time reversal in physical theory; 4. Philosophy of symmetry; 5. Arrows that misfire; 6. There is no thermodynamic arrow; 7. Time reversal violation; 8. Representing CPT; Epilogue; References; Index. Open Access. Unrestricted online access star Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 24 Nov 2022). The arrow of time refers to the curious asymmetry that distinguishes the future from the past. Reversing the Arrow of Time argues that there is an intimate link between the symmetries of 'time itself' and time reversal symmetry in physical theories, which has wide-ranging implications for both physics and its philosophy. This link helps to clarify how we can learn about the symmetries of our world; how to understand the relationship between symmetries and what is real, and how to overcome pervasive illusions about the direction of time. Roberts explains the significance of time reversal in a way that intertwines physics and philosophy, to establish what the arrow of time means and how we can come to know it. This book is both mathematically and philosophically rigorous yet remains accessible to advanced undergraduates in physics and philosophy of physics. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. Time reversal. Space and time Philosophy. 9781009123327 |
