Father Time. I. Does the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Provide a Universal Arrow of Time ?

The existence of a non-thermodynamic arrow of time was demonstrated in a recent paper (Mod.Phys.Lett. A13, 1265 (1998)), in which a model of non-local Quantum Electrodynamics was formulated through the principle of gauge invariance. In this paper we show that the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation is capable of making every particle of the universe (except those which are not acted upon by an electromagnetic field) follow this arrow of time.

Father time. II. A physical basis behind Feynman's idea of antiparticles moving backward in time, and an extension of the CPT theorem to include non-local gauge fields

It has been demonstrated in a recent paper (Mod.Phys.Lett. A13, 1265 (1998); hep-th/9902020) that the existence of a non-thermodynamic arrow of time at the atomic level is a fundamental requirement for conservation of energy in matter-radiation interaction. Since the universe consists of two things only --- energy and massive matter --- we argue that as a consequence of this earlier result, particles and antiparticles must necessarily move in opposite directions in time. Our result further indicates that the CPT theorem can be extended to cover non-local gauge fields.

A Possible Anisotropy in Blackbody Radiation Viewed through Non-uniform Gaseous Matter

A non-local gauge symmetry of a complex scalar field, which can be trivially extended to spinor fields, was demonstrated in a recent paper (Mod.Phys.Lett. A13, 1265 (1998) ; hep-th/9902020). The corresponding covariant Lagrangian density yielded a new, non-local Quantum Electrodynamics. In this letter we show that as a consequence of this new QED, a blackbody radiation viewed through gaseous matter appears to show a slight deviation from the Planck formula, and propose an experimental test to check this effect. We also show that a non-uniformity in this gaseous matter distribution leads to an (apparent) spatial anisotropy in the blackbody radiation.
