摘要: The Past Hypothesis defended by David Wallace in his 2011 account of macroscopic irreversibility is technically distinct from, but the same spirit as, that Albert 2000 book Time and Chance. I am concerned this essay with role objective probability both accounts, which find obscure. Most analysis will be devoted to classical treatments authors, a final section question whether Wallace's quantum version involving unitary dynamics removes obscurity.
