The Universal Arrow of Time
Arrow of Time Laws of Nature Paradigm Theory Change Mathematical Philosophy of Nature Qualitative Philosophy of Nature Reductionism
2016/6/15
The Arrow of Time is an empirical feature of nature – time has a direction from the past to the future. However, the laws of Quantitative Science do not generally include the Arrow of Time. It is show...
Can Interventionists be Neo-Russellians?Interventionism,the Open Systems Argument and the Arrow of Entropy
Russell on causation neo-Russellian views of causation interventionist theories of causation causation in the special sciences statistical mechanical account of causation
2016/6/15
Several proponents of the interventionist theory of causation have recently argued for a neo-Russellian account of causation. The paper discusses two strategies for interventionists to be neo-Russelli...
We argue that a semantics for counterfactual conditionals in terms of comparative overall similarity faces a formal limitation due to Arrow’s impossibility theorem from social choice theory. According...
Rational theory choice:Arrow undermined,Kuhn vindicated
theory choice scientific rationality arrows theorem
2016/6/12
In a recent paper, Samir Okasha presented an argument that suggests that there is no rational way to choose among scientific theories. This would seriously undermine the view that science is a rationa...
I provide a self-contained introduction to the problem of the arrow of time in physics, concentrating on the irreversibility of dynamical processes as described in statistical mechanics.
The fundamental arrow of time in classical cosmology
Time Asymmetries Cosmology Cosmological Time Arrow
2016/5/31
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 cosmol...
Probability, Arrow of Time and Decoherence
time asymmetry of probabilities decoherent histories
2008/4/22
This paper relates both to the metaphysics of probability and to the physics of time asymmetry. Using the formalism of decoherent histories, it investigates whether intuitions about intrinsic time dir...
Reversing the Arrow of Explanation in the Relational Blockworld: Why Temporal Becoming, the Dynamical Brain and the External World Are All "In The Mind"
Quantum Mechanics non-locality blockworld consciousness
2008/4/22
We introduce the Relational Blockworld (RBW) as a paradigm for deflating the mysteries associated with quantum non-separability/non-locality and the measurement problem. We begin by describing how the...
The reason for the arrow of time in electromagnetic radiation is explicated
Scientific cosmology is an empirical discipline whose objects of study are the large-scale properties of the universe. In this context, it is usual to call the direction of the expansion of the univer...
The Arrow of Time in Rigged Hilbert Space Quantum Mechanics
Arrow of Time Quantum Mechanics Irreversibility
2008/4/21
Arno Bohm and Ilya Prigogine's Brussels-Austin Group have been working on the quantum mechanical arrow of time and irreversibility in rigged Hilbert space quantum mechanics. A crucial notion in Bohm's...
The Thermodynamical Arrow of Time: Reinterpreting the Boltzmann-Schuetz Argument
arrow of time entropy
2008/4/21
The recent surge of interest in the
origin of the temporal asymmetry of thermodynamical systems
(including the accessible part of the universe itself) put forward
two possible explanatory approache...
In present-day physics the fundamental dynamical laws are taken as a time-translation-invariant and time-reversal-invariant one-parameter groups of automorphisms of the underlying mathematical structu...
Comment on Fritz Rohrlich's "Causality and the Arrow of Classical Time".
Arrow of time extended particles time reversal
2008/4/10
Rohrlich claims that ``the problem of the arrow of time in classical dynamics has been solved". The solution he proposes is based on the equations governing the motion of extended particles. Rohrlich ...
Absolute Becoming, Relational Becoming, and the Arrow of Time
Time Spacetime Physics Becoming Minkowski spacetime
2008/4/10
My first and main claim is that physics cannot provide empirical evidence for the objectivity (mind-independence) of absolute becoming, for the simple reason that it must presuppose it, at least to th...
