Vladimir A. Kuz'menko
TL;DR
This paper discusses experimental evidence of time invariance violation in nonlinear optics and argues for incorporating time asymmetry into fundamental physical laws to explain optical phenomena.
Contribution
It introduces the concept of time asymmetry into the dynamical equations of physics based on optical experiments showing time invariance violation.
Findings
Experimental proofs of time invariance violation in optics
Time noninvariance as a basis for explaining nonlinear optical phenomena
Proposal to include time asymmetry in fundamental physical laws
Abstract
The direct and indirect experimental proofs of a strong time invariance violation in optics are discussed. Time noninvariance for present day becomes the only real physical base for explanation the origin of the most phenomena in nonlinear optics. This is a good cause to introduce the time asymmetry into the dynamical equations of the basic laws of physics.
