Indeterminism and Time Symmetry are Incompatible: Reply to Rebilas

TL;DR

This paper argues that indeterminism and time symmetry cannot coexist, countering Rebilas's claim that time-reversal is possible in indeterministic systems, which the authors consider untestable and beyond physical theory.

Contribution

It clarifies the incompatibility between indeterminism and time symmetry, challenging claims that time-reversal can occur in indeterministic systems.

Findings

Indeterminism and time symmetry are fundamentally incompatible.

Time-reversal in indeterministic systems is untestable and beyond physics.

The paper refutes Rebilas's hypothesis on time-reversal in indeterministic contexts.

Abstract

Rebilas argues that time-reversal can occur even in an indeterministic system. This hypothesis is untestable, hence lying beyond physics.
