Life from the Thermodynamic Perspective: Unraveling Temporal Asymmetry

Applied Mathematics, Applied Science, Mathematics, Science /

Life is perceived as a system perpetually defying equilibrium in thermodynamics, steadfastly opposing the relentless march toward chaos. This defiance embodies the essence of irreversibility, establishing an indelible connection between life and the ‘arrow of time,’ a concept introduced by the English physicist Arthur Eddington in 1927. Unlocking Temporal Asymmetry A groundbreaking effort by an
