| If a [[stochastic process]] is time reversible, then it is not possible to determine, given the states at a number of points in time after running the stochastic process, which state came first and which state arrived later.
| |
| | |
| If a [[deterministic]] process is time reversible, then the time-reversed process satisfies the same dynamical equations as the original process (see [[reversible dynamics]]); in other words, the equations are invariant or symmetric under a change in the sign of time. [[Classical mechanics]] and [[optics]] are both time-reversible. Modern physics is not quite time-reversible; instead it exhibits a broader symmetry, [[CPT symmetry]].{{fact|date=December 2013}}

| | |
| Time reversibility generally occurs when, within a process, it can be broken up into sub-processes which undo the effects of each other. For example, in [[phylogenetics]], a time-reversible nucleotide substitution model such as the [[Substitution model#GTR: Generalised time reversible|generalised time reversible]] model has the total overall rate into a certain nucleotide equal to the total rate out of that same nucleotide.

| [[Time Reversal Signal Processing|Time Reversal]], specifically in the field of [[acoustics]], is a process by which the linearity of sound waves is used to reverse a received signal; this signal is then re-emitted and a temporal compression occurs, resulting in a reverse of the initial excitation waveform being played at the initial source. Mathias Fink is credited with proving Acoustic Time Reversal by experiment.

| A formal definition of time-reversibility is stated by Tong<ref>Tong(1990), Section 4.4</ref> in the context of time-series. In general, a [[Gaussian process]] is time-reversible. The process defined by a time-series model which represents values as a linear combination of past values and of present and past innovations (see [[Autoregressive moving average model]]) is, except for limited special cases, not time-reversible unless the innovations have a [[normal distribution]] (in which case the model is a Gaussian process).

| | |
| A stationary [[Markov Chain]] is reversible if the transition matrix {''p<sub>ij</sub>''} and the stationary distribution {''π<sub>j</sub>''} satisfy
| |
| :<math>\pi_i p_{ij} =\pi_j p_{ji}, \,</math> | |
| for all ''i'' and ''j''.<ref>Isham (1991), p 186</ref> Such Markov Chains provide examples of stochastic processes which are time-reversible but non-Gaussian.
