I wanted to like this article, but it seems very confused. The essential premise, that the arrow of time is a QM process rather than a classical thermodynamic one, isn't presented as much as reams of background on the general topic are.
- dboreham 10y agoI posted it more for its interest (to me) as a long scientific article from a popular news outlet on a topic I'd never heard about before. It looks like it may be a re-working of this older article : https://www.quantamagazine.org/20140416-times-arrow-traced-to-quantum-source/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/20140416-times-arrow-traced-t... and of course the underlying scientific papers: http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/14/1/013063 http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/14/1/013... http://math.rutgers.edu/~oldstein/papers/TypicalDecayLett03.pdf http://math.rutgers.edu/~oldstein/papers/TypicalDecayLett03....
