David Albert claims that classical electromagnetic theory is not time reversal invariant. He acknowledges that all physics books say that it is, but claims they are "simply wrong" because they rely on an incorrect account of how the time…

On spacetimes that are not time orientable we construct a U(1) bundle to measure the twisting of the time axis. This single assumption, and simple construction, gives rise to Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism, the Lorentz force law…
We consider heat transport through systems with broken time-reversal symmetry. We apply strong magnetic fields to weakly charged particle systems, where the dynamics are dominated by the Lorentz force and spring forces. The standard…

In this paper, we make use of the exact hydrodynamic solution for the Stokes equation for the velocity of a binary ionic solution that we have recently obtained, and show that the nonequilibrium pressure in an electrolyte solution subjected…
In nonequilibrium systems, the relative fluctuation of a current has a universal trade-off relation with the entropy production, called the thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR). For systems with broken time reversal symmetry, its…
By numerically solving the equations of motion for atomic spins we show that internal spin-wave processes in large enough magnetic particles, initially in unstable states, lead to complete magnetization reversal and thermalization. The…
