The master equation and the arrow of time

‘ Главное ’ уравнение и знак времени

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

The aim of this article is to reformulate the derivation of the master equation made by Fulinski and Kramarczyk, by introducing a boundary condition. This move facilitates physical interpretation. Comments will be included on the topic of the arrow of time.

Riassunto

Si tenta di riottenere, ponendo una condizione al contorno, la derivazione della master equation svolta da Fulinski e Kramarczik. Ciò facilita l’interpretazione fisica. Si fanno dei commenti anche sulla direzione del tempo.
