The '''arrow of time''', also called '''time's arrow''', is the concept positing the "one-way direction" or "asymmetry" of [[time]]. It was developed in 1927 by the British astrophysicist [[Arthur Eddington]], and is an [[List of unsolved problems in physics|unsolved general physics question]]. This direction, according to Eddington, could be determined by studying the organization of [[atom]]s, [[molecule]]s, and bodies, and might be drawn upon a [[Four-dimensional space|four-dimensional]] relativistic map of the world ("a solid block of paper").<ref>{{cite book

'''<font color="#ff8000"> 时间之箭The arrow of time</font>'''是一个假定时间是“单向方向”或“不对称”的概念。此概念源自英国天体物理学家亚瑟·爱丁顿在1927年提出的一个普通物理学问题,但至今仍未被解决。按照爱丁顿的说法,研究原子、分子和物体的组织既可以确定时间的方向,又可以把它绘制在一张四维的相对论世界地图上(“一整张纸”)。

Physical processes at the [[microscopic]] level are believed to be either entirely or mostly [[T-symmetry|time-symmetric]]: if the direction of time were to reverse, the theoretical statements that describe them would remain true. Yet at the [[macroscopic]] level it often appears that this is not the case: there is an obvious direction (or ''flow'') of time.

通常,人们认为,微观层面上的物理过程是全部或部分时间对称的。因此,即使时间的方向逆转,描述它们的理论仍然正确。然而,在宏观层面上,情况往往并非如此, 时间存在明显的方向(或流动)。

The symmetry of time ([[T-symmetry]]) can be understood simply as the following: if time were perfectly symmetrical, a video of real events would seem realistic whether played forwards or backwards.<ref>[http://www.isepp.org/Pages/01-02%20Pages/Albert.html David Albert on ''Time and Chance'']</ref> [[Gravity]], for example, is a time-reversible force. A ball that is tossed up, slows to a stop, and falls is a case where recordings would look equally realistic forwards and backwards. The system is T-symmetrical. However, the process of the ball bouncing and eventually coming to a stop is not time-reversible. While going forward, [[kinetic energy]] is dissipated and [[entropy]] is increased. Entropy may be one of the few processes that is [[Irreversibility|not time-reversible]]. According to the statistical notion of increasing entropy, the "arrow" of time is identified with a decrease of free energy.<ref>{{cite journal
