Paola, (01)
The very first line of this paper is arguably wrong: (02)
"Objectively, time does not pass, physics reveals no such phenomenon" (03)
I can agree that physics still lack a coherent theory of "time arrow". But that
does mean it "reveals no such phenomenon". There are sevral known attempt to
account for time in theoretical physics. (04)

While writing this answer I had come accross this article (06)
