"The Arrow of Time"
Over the years the immutable passage of time from past to future has
been likened to the passage of an arrow, "the Arrow of Time". There have
been numerous speculations as to why time should only progress in that
direction and not occasionally progress from future to past. The physical
explanation that has evolved is based upon the concept that the physical
Universe "moves" from order to disorder and it is this "movement",
mathematically defined as increasing "entropy", which determined the passage
of time.
Under General Relativity, the energy contained in the Universe is
asserted to continuously increases, supplied from an unknown source, as time
passes. When one corrects General Relativity for the sophomoric mathematical
error Dr. Einstein made in its derivation, the reason for the direction of
"time's arrow" becomes apparent. As shown inhttp://einsteinhoax.com/gravity.htm, as a material object is lowered (falls)
in a gravitational field, the energy equivalent of its mass (expressed in
ABSOLUTE terms) decreases with the decrease in energy appearing as the
energy of fall. This energy of fall is released in the form of heat and
radiation, both of which serve to increase the overall entropy (or the
reduction in the availability of energy if you prefer the term) of the
system.
In order to reverse the direction of times arrow, it is necessary to
recollect this energy and return it to the masses! Since this is a patent
impossibility, the "Arrow of Time " must point from present to future.
You are assuming an equivalence of time and process rate. In doing so
your argument applies only to irreversable processes, but not to
irreversability of time per se. If a process were reversed, and indeed
some are reversable, then this has no bearing on the advance of time.
Assuming that this reversed process is a localized effect, it will be
occuring wrt an external observer in forward time.
If time itself were reversed, you'd never know it. If for instance,
what we mean by this, is that all of the process in the Universe
reversed exactly for a time, then you'd never know this happened
because memory is one of those processes. If OTOH time itself
reversed, but processes were not reversed also, then reverse time
would be exactly equivalent to foward time, as far as we could tell.
Times arrow is a figment of the imagination. It's a meaningless
concept.
