More about the book
This well-received book presents the striking asymmetry of natural phenomena with respect to time reversal and irreversibility. It presents some of the most important classes of physical processes characterizing the arrow of time and strives to uncover its common cosmological root. This third edition has been thoroughly revised to include important new results in the arrow of time in quantum mechanics and quantum cosmology. Both physicists and philosophers of science will find this to be a magnificent survey.
