I wanted to like this article, but it seems very confused. The essential premise, that the arrow of time is a QM process rather than a classical thermodynamic one, isn't presented as much as reams of background on the general topic are.



I posted it more for its interest (to me) as a long scientific article from a popular news outlet on a topic I'd never heard about before. It looks like it may be a re-working of this older article :

https://www.quantamagazine.org/20140416-times-arrow-traced-t... and of course the underlying scientific papers:

I appreciate the additional reading very much.
