    "abstract": "We show that a topology can be defined in the four dimensional space-time of\nspecial relativity so as to obtain a topological semigroup for time. The\nMinkowski 4-vector character of space-time elements as well as the key\nproperties of special relativity are still the same as in the standard theory.\nHowever, the new topological structure allows the possibility of an intrinsic\nasymmetry in the time evolution of physical systems.",
