Nonexistence of time reversibility in statistical physics

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

Contrary to the customary thought prevailing for long, the time reversibility associated with beam-to-beam collisions does not really exist. Related facts and consequences are presented. The discussion, though involving simple mathematics and physics only, is well-related to the foundation of statistical theory.
