A Derivation of a Microscopic Entropy and Time Irreversibility From the Discreteness of Time
The basic microsopic physical laws are time reversible. In contrast, the second law of thermodynamics, which is a macroscopic physical representation of the world, is able to describe irreversible processes in an isolated system through the change of entropy ΔS > 0. It is the attempt of the p...
