In the world about us, the past is distinctly different from the
future. More precisely, we say that the processes going on in the
world about us are asymmetric in time or display an arrow of time.
Yet this manifest fact of our experience is particularly difficult
to explain in terms of the fundamental laws of physics. Newton's
laws, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, Einstein's theory of
gravity, etc., make no distinction between past and future - they
are time-symmetric. Reconciliation of these profoundly conflicting
facts is the topic of this volume. It is an interdisciplinary
survey of the variety of interconnected phenomena defining arrows
of time, and their possible explanations in terms of underlying
time-symmetric laws of physics.
