Macroscopic Arrow of Time and Entropy from Multiscale Perspectives

This 14-minute conference talk by Mahendra Verma explores the macroscopic arrow of time and entropy from multiscale perspectives as part of the 10th Indian Statistical Physics Community Meeting organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into fundamental concepts of thermodynamics and statistical physics as the speaker examines how time directionality emerges at macroscopic scales. The talk contributes to the broader discussion meeting covering diverse topics including general mathematical aspects, out-of-equilibrium systems, quantum fluids, disordered systems, biological physics, soft matter, nonlinear physics, and interdisciplinary complex systems. The conference brings together scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from across India working in statistical physics, fostering an inclusive environment for academic exchange.
