(Dis-)solving the puzzle of the arrow of radiation
British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 51 (3):381-410 (2000)
| Abstract | I criticize two accounts of the temporal asymmetry of electromagnetic radiation - that of Huw Price, whose account centrally involves a reinterpretation of Wheeler and Feynman's infinite absorber theory, and that of Dieter Zeh. I then offer some reasons for thinking that the purported puzzle of the arrow of radiation does not present a genuine puzzle in need of a solution. | |||||||||
