10 upvotes because it has an interesting title. Anyone that attempted to actually read it could see theres no damn paper. Sorry I seem frustrated with this- I really wanted to read it. Time for bed.
- cing 12y agoFull-text is behind a paywall, but there's a preprint version available here that looks roughly the same: http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.1095 http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.1095
- dang 12y agoThanks. We changed the url to that from http://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.89.052102 http://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.89.052....
- waiwai933 12y agoThere's a PDF button, which leads to http://journals.aps.org/pre/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevE.89.052102 http://journals.aps.org/pre/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevE.89.052102 EDIT: Actually, it appears that my university access may be providing the link. However, cing's link, though slightly different presumably due to being pre-journal formatting, is the same paper.
- SilasX 12y agoLooks to be a rigorous exposition of an argument I saw to resolve Loschmidt's paradox (why there can be an arrow I time in a time symmetric universe). The argument is that formation of memories (whether in a brain or tape recorder or whatever) is necessarily an increasing entropy process, so all memories will be of lower entropy states. IOW, it's not that "entropy increases futureward, we remember pastward, what a coincidence!" Rather, "if this were not an increasing entropy direction, we could not have memories of it." First saw the point in Drescher's Good and Real.
