Abstract

The article discusses the unsuccessful attempts of physicists to answer the question of why time is not reversible. The other basic physical properties of the universe are more symmetrical and the mystery of why time does not follow the same pattern has been called 'time's arrow.' The hope that improved cosmological observations will illuminate the question is discussed.
