<blockquote>Let us draw an arrow arbitrarily. If as we follow the arrow we find more and more of the random element in the state of the world, then the arrow is pointing towards the future; if the random element decreases the arrow points towards the past. That is the only distinction known to physics. This follows at once if our fundamental contention is admitted that the introduction of randomness is the only thing which cannot be undone. I shall use the phrase 'time's arrow' to express this one-way property of time which has no analogue in space.</blockquote>

“让我们任意画一个箭头。如果我们跟着箭头走，在这个世界中会发现越来越多随机元素，那么时间之箭就指向未来; 如果发现的随机元素越来越少，那么时间之箭就指向过去。这是物理学领域中我们对时间之箭已知的唯一区别。如果我们的这一基本论点得到承认，随机性的引入是唯一不可撤销的事情，那么这一点就立刻得到了证实。我会用“时间之箭”这个词来表达时间的这种单向性质，这种性质在空间上没有类似的东西”

我们的推理能力也同样可以证实这一点，它告诉我们，箭头的反转会使外部世界变得荒谬。

除了研究一些个体的组织结构外，它在自然科学中没有出现。(他的意思是只有在熵中才能观察到，熵是一个系统产生的统计力学现象。

根据爱丁顿的说法，箭头表示随机元素逐渐增加的方向。在对热力学性质进行了长时间的争论之后，他得出结论，就物理学而言，时间之箭是只属于熵的属性。
