Five articles, written by the Fields medalist C. Villani, the two outstanding theoretical physicists T. Damour and C. Jarzynski, the leading experimentalist C. Salomon, and the famous philosopher of science H. Price, describe recent developments related to the mathematical, physical, experimental, and philosophical facets of this fascinating concept. These articles are also highly pedagogical, as befits their origin in lectures to a broad scientific audience. Highlights include a description of the manifold fundamental physical issues in play with time, in particular with the changes of perspective implied by Special and General Relativity; a mathematically precise discussion of irreversibility and entropy in the context of Boltzmann‘s and Vlasov‘s equations; a thorough survey of the recently developed “thermodynamics at the nanoscale,” the scale most relevant to biological physics; a description of the new cold atom space clock PHARAO to be installed in 2015 onboard the International Space Station, whi | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | 关键词 | arrow of time; atomic clocks; entropy; relativity; thermodynamics | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-0348-0359-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-0348-0766-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-0348-0359-5Series ISSN 1544-9998 Series E-ISSN 2197-1846 | issn_series | 1544-9998 | copyright | Springer Basel 2013 |
