Une découverte ultérieure, la non-conservation de la symétrie PC relativement au théorème d'invariance CPT, a permis de nuancer cette théorie. En effet, les physiciens considéraient auparavant que, pour la microphysique, il n'y avait vraisemblablement pas - en théorie - d'irréversibilité du temps. On sait maintenant que, comme en macrophysique (entropie/néguentropie), le temps positif, objectif (du passé vers le futur, «causal») et le temps négatif, subjectif (du futur vers le passé, «final») ne sont pas symétriques. 1, record 1, French, - th%C3%A9or%C3%A8me%20d%27invariance%20CPT
