【 摘 要 】

In a series of papers [1,2,3], Lawrence Schulman presented examples which demonstrate the compatibility of opposite arrows of time in various situations. In a previous letter to this journal [4] I questioned some of them for not being realistic in spite of being logically correct. Schulman replied [5] to these objections in a letter directly succeeding my one. I am here trying to clarify some aspects of the dispute, thereby further explaining and supporting my previous conclusions.
