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 unsolved general physics question. This direction, according to Eddington, could be determined by studying the organization of atoms, molecules, and bodies, and might be drawn upon a four-dimensional relativistic map of the world ("a solid block of paper").引用错误:没有找到与</ref>对应的<ref>标签

Physical processes at the microscopic level are believed to be either entirely or mostly 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.

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)。



Overview

Overview

概览

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.[1] 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 not time-reversible. According to the statistical notion of increasing entropy, the "arrow" of time is identified with a decrease of free energy.引用错误:没有找到与</ref>对应的<ref>标签

In the 1928 book The Nature of the Physical World, which helped to popularize the concept, Eddington stated:

在1928年出版的《物理世界的本质》一书中,爱丁顿推广了这个概念,他说:

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.

“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”



Eddington then gives three points to note about this arrow:

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。

  1. It makes no appearance in physical science except in the study of organization of a number of individuals. (By which he means that it is only observed in entropy, a statistical mechanics phenomenon arising from a system.)

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


According to Eddington the arrow indicates the direction of progressive increase of the random element. Following a lengthy argument upon the nature of thermodynamics he concludes that, so far as physics is concerned, time's arrow is a property of entropy alone.

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。

Thermodynamic arrow of time

Thermodynamic arrow of time

热力学时间之箭


The arrow of time is the "one-way direction" or "asymmetry" of time. The thermodynamic arrow of time is provided by the second law of thermodynamics, which says that in an isolated system, entropy tends to increase with time. Entropy can be thought of as a measure of microscopic disorder; thus the second law implies that time is asymmetrical with respect to the amount of order in an isolated system: as a system advances through time, it becomes more statistically disordered. This asymmetry can be used empirically to distinguish between future and past, though measuring entropy does not accurately measure time. Also, in an open system, entropy can decrease with time.

时间之箭是指时间的“单向”或“不对称”。热力学的时间之箭是依据 热力学第二定律the second law of thermodynamics,它在一个孤立的系统中,熵倾向于随着时间而增加。熵可以看作是一种对微观无序的度量; 因此,这就意味着在一个孤立的系统中,相对于有序的数量而言,时间是不对称的: 当一个系统随着时间推进时,它会变得更加无序。尽管测量熵并不能准确地测量时间,但这种不对称性可以用作区分未来和过去的经验。而且,在一个开放的系统中,熵会随着时间增加而减少。


British physicist Sir Alfred Brian Pippard wrote, "There is thus no justification for the view, often glibly repeated, that the Second Law of Thermodynamics is only statistically true, in the sense that microscopic violations repeatedly occur, but never violations of any serious magnitude. On the contrary, no evidence has ever been presented that the Second Law breaks down under any circumstances."[2] However, there are a number of paradoxes regarding violation of the second law of thermodynamics, one of them due to the Poincaré recurrence theorem.

英国物理学家阿尔弗雷德·布莱恩·派帕德爵士写道: “经常油嘴滑舌地重复没有依据的观点是没有说服力的,尽管热力学第二定律理论只在统计学上是正确的,但是在微观世界中的相悖时常发生,且从未发生任何严重程度的相悖。相反,从来没有任何证据表明第二定律在任何情况下失效。”然而,一些违反热力学第二定律的悖论的确存在,其中一个是庞加莱始态复现定理the Poincaré recurrence theorem

This arrow of time seems to be related to all other arrows of time and arguably underlies some of them, with the exception of the weak arrow of time.

Harold Blum's 1951 book Time's Arrow and Evolution[3] "explored the relationship between time's arrow (the second law of thermodynamics) and organic evolution." This influential text explores "irreversibility and direction in evolution and order, negentropy, and evolution."[4] Blum argues that evolution followed specific patterns predetermined by the inorganic nature of the earth and its thermodynamic processes.[5]

宇宙时间之箭


The cosmological arrow of time points in the direction of the universe's expansion. It may be linked to the thermodynamic arrow, with the universe heading towards a heat death (Big Chill) as the amount of usable energy becomes negligible. Alternatively, it may be an artifact of our place in the universe's evolution (see the Anthropic bias), with this arrow reversing as gravity pulls everything back into a Big Crunch.

If this arrow of time is related to the other arrows of time, then the future is by definition the direction towards which the universe becomes bigger. Thus, the universe expands—rather than shrinks—by definition.

The thermodynamic arrow of time and the second law of thermodynamics are thought to be a consequence of the initial conditions in the early universe.[6] Therefore, they ultimately result from the cosmological set-up.

Radiative arrow of time

Radiative arrow of time

辐射时间之箭

Waves, from radio waves to sound waves to those on a pond from throwing a stone, expand outward from their source, even though the wave equations accommodate solutions of convergent waves as well as radiative ones. This arrow has been reversed in carefully worked experiments that created convergent waves,[7] so this arrow probably follows from the thermodynamic arrow in that meeting the conditions to produce a convergent wave requires more order than the conditions for a radiative wave. Put differently, the probability for initial conditions that produce a convergent wave is much lower than the probability for initial conditions that produce a radiative wave. In fact, normally a radiative wave increases entropy, while a convergent wave decreases it,[citation needed] making the latter contradictory to the second law of thermodynamics in usual circumstances.

虽然波动方程包含了会聚波和辐射波的解,但所有的波,从无线电波到声波,再到石头扔进池塘里产生的波,都是从源头向外扩展。这个方向在精心设计的产生收敛波的实验中被颠倒过来,所以这个方向可能来自热力学方向,因为满足产生收敛波的条件比产生辐射波的条件需要更多的次序。换句话说,产生会聚波初始条件的概率远低于产生辐射波初始条件的概率。事实上,正常情况下,辐射波会增加熵,而会聚波会减少熵,而后者与通常情况下的热力学第二定律相矛盾。

Causal arrow of time

Causal arrow of time

因果时间箭头

A cause precedes its effect: the causal event occurs before the event it causes or affects. Birth, for example, follows a successful conception and not vice versa. Thus causality is intimately bound up with time's arrow.

原因先于结果: 原因发生在它引起或影响的事件之前。例如,出生遵循一个成功的概念,反之则为谬误。因此,因果关系与时间之箭密切相关。



An epistemological problem with using causality as an arrow of time is that, as David Hume maintained, the causal relation per se cannot be perceived; one only perceives sequences of events. Furthermore, it is surprisingly difficult to provide a clear explanation of what the terms cause and effect really mean, or to define the events to which they refer. However, it does seem evident that dropping a cup of water is a cause while the cup subsequently shattering and spilling the water is the effect.

用因果关系作为时间箭头的认识论问题在于,正如大卫 · 休谟所坚持的那样,因果关系本身不能被感知; 人们只能感知事件的序列。此外,要对因果这两个术语的真正含义提供一个清晰的解释,或者定义它们所指的事件,是非常困难的。然而,我们可以明确分辨,装有水的杯子掉落是一个原因,而随后杯子粉碎和溢出水是影响。



Physically speaking, the perception of cause and effect in the dropped cup example is a phenomenon of the thermodynamic arrow of time, a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics.[8] Controlling the future, or causing something to happen, creates correlations between the doer and the effect,[9] and these can only be created as we move forwards in time, not backwards.

从物理学上讲,杯子掉落的例子中对因果关系的感知是一种热力学时间箭头的现象,是热力学第二定律的结果。控制未来,或者引发某些事情,这会在行动者和结果之间建立相关性,而这些相关性只能在我们向前而不是向后推进时间的时候产生。

Particle physics (weak) arrow of time

粒子物理学(弱)时间之箭


Certain subatomic interactions involving the weak nuclear force violate the conservation of both parity and charge conjugation, but only very rarely. An example is the kaon decay.[10] According to the CPT theorem, this means they should also be time irreversible, and so establish an arrow of time. Such processes should be responsible for matter creation in the early universe.

That the combination of parity and charge conjugation is broken so rarely means that this arrow only "barely" points in one direction, setting it apart from the other arrows whose direction is much more obvious. This arrow had not been linked to any large scale temporal behaviour until the work of Joan Vaccaro, who showed that T violation could be responsible for conservation laws and dynamics.[11]

奇偶性和电荷共轭的结合很少被破坏,这意味着这个箭头仅仅“勉强”指向一个方向,这正是它有别于其他方向更明显的箭头的地方。直到琼·瓦卡罗的研究成果发表后,这个箭头才被与任何大规模的时间行为联系起来,他的研究表明时间逆反可能是守恒定律和动力学的原因。

Quantum arrow of time

Quantum arrow of time

量子时间之箭

模板:Unsolved


According to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, quantum evolution is governed by the Schrödinger equation, which is time-symmetric, and by wave function collapse, which is time irreversible. As the mechanism of wave function collapse is philosophically obscure, it is not completely clear how this arrow links to the others. Despite the post-measurement state being entirely stochastic in formulations of quantum mechanics, a link to the thermodynamic arrow has been proposed, noting that the second law of thermodynamics amounts to an observation that nature shows a bias for collapsing wave functions into higher entropy states versus lower ones, and the claim that this is merely due to more possible states being high entropy runs afoul of Loschmidt's paradox. According to one physical view of wave function collapse, the theory of quantum decoherence, the quantum arrow of time is a consequence of the thermodynamic arrow of time.[citation needed]

根据哥本哈根诠释的量子力学,量子进化是由时间对称的薛定谔方程和不可逆的波函数崩溃控制的。由于波函数崩塌的机制在哲学上是模糊的,所以我们并不完全清楚这个箭头是如何与其他箭头联系起来的。尽管由量子力学的公式计算得出的状态是完全随机的,但是科学家们已经指出了它与热力学箭头的联系并注意到热力学第二定律相当于一个观测工具,它自然表现出一种倾向,倾向于坍缩波函数到更高的熵状态而不是更低的熵状态,同时他们也声称这仅仅是由于更多的可能状态是高熵状态,但这与洛西米特可逆吊诡相冲突。根据波函数坍缩的一个物理观点---- 量子退相干理论,时间的量子箭头是热力学时间箭头的结果。



Relational quantum mechanics proposes that there is no such thing as an absolute wave function collapse, and that what an observer sees as wave function collapse is in fact the observer becoming entangled with the measured state. The thermodynamic arrow is an increase in entanglement over time; in this way, relational quantum mechanics relates the quantum arrow to the thermodynamic arrow.

In 2019, a team of Russian scientists reported the reversal of the quantum arrow of time on an IBM quantum computer.[12] By observing the state of the quantum computer made of two and later three superconducting qubits, they found that in 85% of the cases, the two-qubit computer returned into the initial state.[13] The state's reversal was made by a special program, similarly to the random microwave background fluctuation in the case of the electron.[13] However, according to the estimations, throughout the age of the universe (13.7 billion years) such a reversal of the electron's state would only happen once, for 0.06 nanoseconds.[13] The scientists' experiment led to the possibility of a quantum algorithm that reverses a given quantum state through complex conjugation.[12]

Physicists say that quantum uncertainty gives rise to entanglement, the putative source of the arrow of time.[citation needed] 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."[14]

Psychological/perceptual arrow of time

心理 / 感知时间之箭




A related mental arrow arises because one has the sense that one's perception is a continuous movement from the known (past) to the unknown (future). Anticipating the unknown forms the psychological future, which always seems to be something one is moving towards. However, like a projection in a mirror, it makes what is actually already a part of memory, such as desires, dreams, and hopes, seem ahead of the observer.

The association of "behind ⇔ past" and "ahead ⇔ future" is itself culturally determined. For example, the Aymara language associates "ahead ⇔ past" and "behind ⇔ future".[15][16] Similarly, the Chinese term for "the day after tomorrow" 後天 ("hòu tiān") literally means "after (or behind) day", whereas "the day before yesterday" 前天 ("qián tiān") is literally "preceding (or in front) day."[17]

The words "yesterday" and "tomorrow" both translate to the same word in Hindi: कल ("kal"),[18] meaning "[one] day remote from today."[19] The ambiguity is resolved by verb tense. परसों ("parsoⁿ") is used for both "day before yesterday" and "day after tomorrow", or "two days from today".[20] नरसों ("narsoⁿ") is used for "three days from today."[21]
