Physicists say that quantum uncertainty gives rise to entanglement, the putative source of the arrow of time. The idea that entanglement might explain the arrow of time was proposed by Seth Lloyd in the 1980s. Lloyd argues that quantum uncertainty, and the way it spreads as particles become increasingly entangled, could replace human uncertainty in the old classical proofs as the true source of the arrow of time. According to Lloyd, "The arrow of time is an arrow of increasing correlations." | Physicists say that quantum uncertainty gives rise to entanglement, the putative source of the arrow of time.
