Abstract: Abstract A model in which two weakly coupled systems maintain opposite running thermodynamic arrows of time is exhibited. Each experiences its own retarded electromagnetic interaction and can be seen by the other. “Time” is thus a statistical concept. Paradoxes are also explored from the standpoint of initial and final value problems.
