The arrow of time: From universe time-asymmetry to local irreversible processes
In several previous papers we have argued for a global and non-entropic approach to the problem of the arrow of time, according to which the "arrow" is only a metaphorical way of expressing the geometrical time-asymmetry of the universe. We have also shown that, under definite conditions,...
