I found this book well written, but quite wordy. About half way thru I was starting to read only the first and last sentence of each paragraph. I believe the author put too much effort in trying to convince his reader the credibility of irreversible processes and validity of the Second Law over quantum reversibility. It seemed he may have been doing this to convince himself more than his audience. As with quantum particles, they both share wave and particle properties. Quantum reversibility and the Second Law's irreversibility are also valid concepts that have yet to be reconciled, but for now, not one at the expense of the other.
This is an excellent book. An important concept in the discussion of the arrow of time is the notion of interdependence as it applies to self organizing systems and the laws of thermodynamics. One of the reasons time travel to the past is impossible is because of the impossibility of isolating a system from its interdependent connections with its environment or larger system it is a part of. From a General Systems (Bertalanffy) point of view, time travel to the past would require the isolation of a system (or in Koestler's terminology-isolation of a holon) and placing it in a time period in which there is no interdependent systemic context. With regard to the 2nd Law, from the point of view of the time travelling system the amount of entropy in the universe would have decreased as well if the system has traveled to the past. Does this mean that time travel to the past violates the 2nd Law? This is an otherwise excellent book but I do have one problem with something that is stated on page 79. In all fairness this is not the only work I have read that makes the contention that length contraction is only an observer effect Here is the quote..."It is purely a relativistic effect: the body does not actually shrink in any way, it merely appears so to an observer...." I do not understand how one can accept the reality of time dilation effects, and mass increases as being real in the same scenario but not the reality of length contraction. I also contend that if the time dilation effect is 'experienced' by the speeding object in 3 dimensions then length contraction must also occur 3 dimensionally (the individual is proportionally contracted in all three dimensions and not elongated in the directions perpendicular to the direction of travel).
The Arrow of Time: The quest to solve science’s greatest mystery by Peter Coveney and Roger Highfield, Flamingo (HarperCollins), 1991, 382 ffDr Peter Coveney is a physicist working at a Cambridge Research Laboratory and Dr Roger Highfield is a journalist. Together they have produced a highly readable book though, dealing as it does with scientific problems, clearly some science background is necessary before reading it. The language is scientific, pitched at the level of a documentary that we might see on television. To be comfortable with reading this I suggest that readers need to be familiar with the top level of high-school science – but the explanations are clear, only the jargon may be a bit intimidating.The range of topics covered is broad: beginning with ideas of time in literature and popular culture, it moves on quickly to the Second Law of Thermodynamics – the key to the directionality of time. The authors explain Boltzmann’s concept of entropy (the degree of disorder in a system) and show how this determines our vision of time’s arrow. They discuss how some equations in physics are time-independent whereas others involve a timescale. They explore the significance of time in relativity, quantum physics, cosmology and, inevitably, in thermodynamics and chaos theory.There is an interesting Appendix on biological clocks, over 30 pages of Notes that expand on many of the topics covered, and a Bibliography of further reading. Now a quarter of a century old (but with a new edition imminent in 2015) this book is a fine overview of some of the most important topics in science today, though the latest discoveries about quarks and hadrons are not discussed.
