It is about the theoretical principle, thinking about the “clock of clocks”, the best clock that could be built based only on the laws of quantum mechanics. You then turned your investigation to the laws of thermodynamics. Huber: One of the most intuitive explanations for an arrow of time, i.e. the separation of events into past and future, is the second law of thermodynamics. To ...
