Abstract
Dynamical systems in classical, relativistic, and quantum physics are ruled by laws with time reversibility. Dynamical systems with time-irreversibility are known from thermodynamics, biological evolution, brain research and historical processes in social sciences. They can also be simulated by computation and information systems. Thus, arrows of time and aging processes are not only subjective experiences or even contradictions to natural laws but can be explained by the dynamics of complex systems.
