熵与宇宙学时间箭头

Entropy and Cosmological Arrows of Time

Julian Barbour

摘要:

Deutsch和Aguirre最近证明了某些动力系统的解通常包含一个最小尺寸的点,他们将其确定为熵最小值,并且从该点开始,尺寸和熵在时间的两个方向上都增加到无穷大。他们认为,在这样的系统中,熵的时间箭头存在,而不需要在过去施加特殊条件。在本文中,我锐化和扩展的条件下,这种解决方案的存在,但认为,由此产生的时间箭头不应该被解释为熵,因为它们指向更大的秩序,而不是混乱。

英文摘要:

Deutsch and Aguirre have recently shown that the solutions of certain dynamical systems typically contain a point of minimum size that they identify as an entropy minimum and from which the size and entropy increase to infinity in both directions of time. They argue that in such systems entropic arrows of time exist without the need for a special condition imposed in the past. In this paper I sharpen and extend the conditions under which such solutions exist but argue that the resulting arrows of time should not be interpreted as entropic since they point towards greater order and not disorder.
