无约束系统中的时间箭头

Arrows of time in unconfined systems

Julian Barbour

摘要:

熵和牛顿第二定律是通过研究气体在受限空间中的行为而发现的。在气体动力学理论中发展起来的相关技术未能解决所有已知自然定律的时间反演对称性与时间箭头的存在之间的明显冲突,时间箭头在宇宙中的任何时候和任何地方都指向同一个方向。我认为,失败可能是由于无意识的应用程序的概念框架开发的宇宙封闭系统。如果宇宙是一个无限制的系统,就需要新的概念。

英文摘要:

Entropy and the second law of thermodynamcs were discovered through study of the behaviour of gases in confined spaces. The related techniques developed in the kinetic theory of gases have failed to resolve the apparent conflict between the time-reversal symmetry of all known laws of nature and the existence of arrows of time that at all times and everywhere in the universe all point in the same direction. I will argue that the failure may due to unconscious application to the universe of the conceptual framework developed for confined systems. If, as seems plausible, the universe is an unconfined system, new concepts are needed.
