I don't think Carroll can take credit for the idea of the arrow of time being emergent from a local entropy initial state.
Roger Penrose proposed that as far as I know, when Carroll was probably a high schooler.
- platz 4y agowho's taking "credit"
- mellosouls 4y agoRoger Penrose proposed that as far as I know, when Carroll was probably a high schooler. No. At least as early as Arthur Eddington when Penrose was a twinkle in his dad's eye.
- psychphysic 4y agoThanks didn't know he'd made that argument although I knew he made the connection between entropy increasing and arrow of time.
- yeahwhatever10 4y agoExplaining an idea is not equivalent to taking credit for it.
- psychphysic 4y ago> Carroll's argument This assigns credit to Carroll.
- Jcowell 4y agoIt merely says that Carrol argued. The idea within the argument was no means assigned to her but used to make/support it.
- psychphysic 4y agoSean Carroll is a man, and look up the possessive apostrophe while you're at it!
- zone411 4y agoThis idea of time's relation to entropy is pretty iffy. I recommend this book https://news.berkeley.edu/2016/09/20/new-book-links-flow-of-time-with-big-bang/ https://news.berkeley.edu/2016/09/20/new-book-links-flow-of-....
