The Loschmidt's paradox:  Why is there an inevitable increase in entropy when the Laws of Physics are invariant (reversible) under time reversal? The time reversal symmetry of physical laws appears to contradict the second law of thermodynamics. Time-symmetry (CPT symmetry) implies that for any process compatible with these fundamental laws, a reversed version that looked exactly like a film of the first process played backwards would be equally compatible with the same fundamental laws, and would even be equally probable.
