On the origin of irreversibility

Published 24 Sep 2025 in physics.class-ph | (2509.20117v1)

Abstract: The contradiction of micro-reversibility and macro-irreversibility is an old problem in statistical mechanics. This article argues that irreversibility is present even at the micro level because of the mechanical-electromagnetic interaction, so there may actually be no contradiction.
