Abstract
In the environment, there exists a continuous interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter. So, atoms continuously interact with the photons of the environmental electromagnetic fields. This electromagnetic interaction is the consequence of the continuous and universal thermal non-equilibrium, that introduces an element of randomness to atomic and molecular motion. Consequently, a decreasing of path probability required for microscopic reversibility of evolution occurs. Recently, an energy footprint has been theoretically proven in the atomic electron-photon interaction, related to the well known spectroscopic phase shift effect, and the results on the irreversibility of the electromagnetic interaction with atoms and molecules, experimentally obtained in the late sixties. Here, we want to show how this quantum footprint is the “origin of time”. Last, the result obtained represents also a response to the question introduced by Einstein on the analysis of the interaction between radiation and molecules when thermal radiation is considered; he highlighted that in general one restricts oneself to a discussion of the energy exchange, without taking the momentum exchange into account. Our result has been obtained just introducing the momentum into the quantum analysis.
Highlights
In the last decades, Rovelli[1,2,3] introduced new considerations on time in physical sciences
Some thermodynamic considerations have been introduced on the measurable clock time in relation to the perception of the human mind[5]
We have introduced the Constructal law approach in quantum mechanics
Summary
Rovelli[1,2,3] introduced new considerations on time in physical sciences. The mind time is a sequence of images, the results of inflowing stimuli[6] perceived by sensory organs It was pointed out how the rate at which changes in mental images are perceived decreases with age, because of several physical features that change with age[7]. This result was obtained by introducing the constructal law of evolution of flow architecture[5,8]
