But Schrödinger thought they could. That's why he came up with the
illustration about his cat.


Micro particles don'[t have to move like
planets.. Take this for an example. The kaon and the B meson are
sensitive to the direction of time,now tell me a macro object that can
flow backwards.


Of course there are micro world theories that seem to make sense at
first, such as that positrons might be electrons moving backwards
through time. But when you carry it very far, it doesn't make sense.
For instance, if positrons are moving backwards in time, then they and
indeed all antimatter should fall upwards. However even if that were
true, when you think about it, just falling upwards is not completely
symmetric with objects moving forward in time falling downwards. True
symmetry would require that backwards through time moving antimatter
remain near the ground for an indefinite time, and then inexplicably
suddenly fall upward.


Reality is we don't know how any of the arrows of time
defined by physicist are related to our "subjective" sense of time.
Fact is subjective time might be the most tricky. We treat time as
something that passes,and physicist treat time as a dimension Strange as
this may sound "The flow of time can't be measured. I read many moons
ago St. Augustine saying this "We know what time is until someone asks
us,and then we discover we don't know what we are talking about. I can
relate this to QM and we think we know it,until we have to explain it

I like to think that time is merely a comparison between two ongoing
processes, such as between a running clock and your body's biological
processes. But then SR says that how the processes in two objects
compare depends upon their relative velocity. Also the law of entropy
gives it direction.
