0 Time Arrow in Wave - Packet Evolution
Availability of short, femtosecond laser pulses has recently made feasible the probing of phases in an atomic or molecular wave-packet (superposition of energy eigenstates). With short duration excitations the initial form of the wave-packet is an essentially real " doorway state " , and this develops phases for each of its component amplitudes as it evolves. It is suggested that these phases a...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Arrow of Time in Classical Cosmology
The aim of this paper is to show that a new understanding of fundamentality (section 2), can be applied successfully in classical cosmology and is able to improve a fundamental understanding of cosmological time asymmetries. In the introduction (section 1), I refer to various views from different literature. I begin by arguing against various arguments, provided in favour of the view that the d...
متن کاملTime flies like an arrow
Dr Yorick Wilks There is an ancient Chinese curse is reader in theoretical that dooms its recipients to live linguistics, the in an interesting age, and by those University of Essex standards machine translation workers are at present having a bad time. Things are interesting at the moment because there are conflicting claims in the air about how to do machine translation, and whether it can be...
متن کاملTime's Arrow and Evolution
Dr. Blum's main thesis in this small volume is that from the origin of life, evolution has proceeded necessarily along certain channels, predetermined from without by the physical nature of the inorganic earth and by thermodynamic considerations from within. His interpretation of the free energy changes in biochemical reactions is particularly lucid. The exposition draws freely from the discipl...
متن کاملEntropy, biological evolution and the psychological arrow of time
We argue that in Universes where future and past differ only by the entropy content a psychological arrow of time pointing in the direction of entropy increase can arise from natural selection in biological evolution. We show that this effect can be demonstrated in very simple toy computer simulations of evolution in an entropy increasing or decreasing environment.
