Temporal Asymmetry, Entropic Irreversibility, and Finite-Time Thermodynamics: From Parmenides-Einstein Time-Reversal Symmetry to the Heraclitan Entropic Arrow of Time
2012 · cited by 12
The paper establishes the connection between entropy production and the entropic arrow of time within a thermodynamic framework.

The analysis

The retrieved papers provide robust support for the claim that the second law of thermodynamics and its entropic increase are associated with time-reversal asymmetry (an arrow of time). Papers explicitly link time-reversal asymmetry of path probabilities or dynamics to entropy production and the second law. No papers refute this fundamental thermodynamic principle.
