Apr 14, 2015 at 18:49 comment added Laplacian If one had two physical systems. One that possessed time reversal invariance and one that didn't. What would the physical difference between these two systems be that result in one having time reversal invariance and one not?
Apr 14, 2015 at 18:48 comment added Laplacian Right. I mean I see what it means mathematically. That if we choose to parametrize time in the system by $-t$ instead of $t$ then the Hamiltonian will remain unchanged. But is there a physical picture associated with this in the same way that there is with translational symmetries?
Apr 14, 2015 at 18:33 comment added ACuriousMind Time reversal is a transformation like any other. Is there something specific you want to know about it?
