The asymmetry of natural phenomena under time reversal is striking. Here the author investigates the most important classes of physical phenomena that characterize the arrow of time, discussing their interrelations as well as striving to uncover a cosmological common root of the phenomena, such as the time-independent wave function of the universe. The description of irreversible phenomena is shown to be fundamentally "observer related". This is a new and expanded edition.
