Work
Meshcherov's paper "The Direction of Time Is Certainly Fixed" appeared in Physics Essays, Volume 19, Issue 4 (December 2006). In it he relates the irreversibility of time to the effect that radiation has on the motion of a charged particle in an external field, arguing that this provides a physical basis for a fixed direction of time. The work was published in Physics Essays, a journal that carries foundational and alternative treatments of physics outside the mainstream literature. Because of this contribution he is grouped among the critics catalogued by Jean de Climont.
