Experience ; Adjunct, Associate Professor.

The field is a relative newcomer in philosophy of physics, which has hitherto mainly focused on the foundations of quantum theory and space-time theories. In his book Time and Chance (2000), Albert argued that the only concept of entropy in statistical mechanics adequate to the second law of thermodynamics is that given by Boltzmann, and that further what is needed is the ‘past hypothesis’ – an hypothesis about the low-entropy state in which the universe was first created.

In this respect he is in agreement with Penrose and others on the nature of the hypothesis required to solve the low-entropy problem. However, he has also argued that the status of the past hypothesis is quite different from that of ordinary retrodictions to conditions in the past, given our knowledge of current states of affairs and the laws of physics.

Indeed, any ordinary retrodiction of this kind will conclude that i
