Origin of the thermodynamic time arrow demonstrated in a realistic statistical system

Abstract

Emergence of one-time-direction macroscopic evolution of a classical system of two mixed gases having different temperatures is derived and explained. The analysis performed at the microscopic level, where the time-symmetric laws of mechanics govern the particles collisions, leads to a time-asymmetric macroscopic heat transfer equation and a theorem analogous to the Boltzmann H-theorem. Some statistical symmetries in the velocity distribution that should be satisfied by the incoming and outgoing particles are pointed out. The time reversed evolution is shown to be highly improbable because in this case these typical symmetries are broken. Additionally, some remarks explaining implicit time-asymmetry of the Boltzmann \emph{Stosszahlansatz} are made.
