Do we need a Past Hypothesis? - 12/05/16 06:42 PM
I said I would try to get a scientific question in before discharge, so here goes.
Sean Carroll says: "The microscopic laws of physics draw no distinction between past and future". He uses this to justify pages of argument in support of the need for a Past Hypothesis in order to make sense of the present.
Surely, this basic assumption is flawed. Reactions of kaons, B particles and some atomic reactions show clear time asymmetry.
Have i missed something?
