Time Arrows

[Guest guest]

It is said that time arrows are asymmetrical and point from the past

to the future with connectivity from the past through to present and

onwards into the future. The advanced potential remains as the

constant overall.

This, of course, is part of a larger discussion concerning the

second law of thermodynamics.

Walter Ritz argued in 1909 that the solution of the wave equation of

the ultraviolent catastrophe in terms of the retarded [his term, not

mine] versus advanced potential established a genuine difference

between the past and the future.

The counter argument to Ritz's argument was that the wave equation

could equally well use the end state and operate with the help of

the advanced potential rather than in terms of the end state.

It's an interesting topic to say the least and always one worthy of

great debate and animated discussion.
