[asa] Direction of Time

Does anyone know a more "simplified" discussion of the direction of time
than in Zeh's "The Physical basis of the direction of time."
I haven't looked at Reichenbach's book in a while so I don't remember its
content well. Perhaps this would be one possibility.

I think that given enough time I could get what he's talking about, but
I'm looking for something more philosophical, but nonetheless somewhat
technical.

In particular, what I am trying to better understand is the relationship
between entanglement and the direction of time. What bothers me about
entanglement is that it appears to be heavily dependent upon your
interpretation of QM.

I note that despite the supposed abilitiy of entanglement to "affect" the
past nothing is said about the future. If this is so, the direction of
time still persists since the past is distinguished from the future and
some kind of causality still holds, no matter how you interprete QM.

thanks,

bill
