  2. Reversibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversibility

    Reversibility can refer to: Time reversibility , a property of some mathematical or physical processes and systems for which time-reversed dynamics are well defined Reversible diffusion , an example of a reversible stochastic process

  3. Time reversibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_reversibility

    A mathematical or physical process is time-reversible if the dynamics of the process remain well-defined when the sequence of time-states is reversed.. A deterministic process is time-reversible if the time-reversed process satisfies the same dynamic equations as the original process; in other words, the equations are invariant or symmetrical under a change in the sign of time.

    "A science fiction story is a story built around human beings, with a human problem, and a human solution, which would not have happened at all without its scientific content." [13] Basil Davenport. 1955. "Science fiction is fiction based upon some imagined development of science, or upon the extrapolation of a tendency in society." [14] Edmund ...

  6. Microscopic reversibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopic_reversibility

    The Newton and the Schrödinger equations in the absence of the macroscopic magnetic fields and in the inertial frame of reference are T-invariant: if X(t) is a solution then X(-t) is also a solution (here X is the vector of all dynamic variables, including all the coordinates of particles for the Newton equations and the wave function in the configuration space for the Schrödinger equation).

  7. Time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time

    Time is the continuous progression of existence that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future. [1] [2] [3] It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events (or the intervals between them), and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the ...

    Science fiction (sometimes shortened to sci-fi or abbreviated SF) is a genre of speculative fiction which typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced science and technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life.
