19. An argument to the effect that the measuring process does preserve T invariance has been given a long time ago by Y. Aharonov, P. G. Bergmann, and J. L. Lebowitz, Phys. Rev. B 134, 1410-1416 (1964). Their argument seems rather contrived. Arguments for noninvariance by Roger Penrose can be found in The Emperor's New Mind (Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1989).
