Wheeler/Feynman Absorber Theory and the Radiation Arrow of Time

The laws of physics are symmetric with respect to time, yet everyday life reveals striking asymmetries. A glass, once shattered will not spontaneously reform, and waves will always move outward from a source, never inward. What causes these asymmetries and others, collectively known as the arrow of time? This project will explore the various arrows of time (eg. thermodynamic, radiation, quantum) and investigate the links between them.
