アブストラクト: The arrow of time is one of the great mysteries in elementary particle physics. While it is well defined and experimentaly confirmed in the macrocosm, there was no experimental evidence for time-reversal violation in the subatomic world. The CPLEAR experiment at CERN has tested the T-reversal invariance with high precision. An assymetry between the rates (bar)K^0 -> K^0 and K^0 -> (bar)K^0 was observed leading to the first experimental observation of T violation in the microcosm. Within the experimental accuracy the amount of T violation was found to be equal to CP violation and is in agreement with CPT invariance. Our observation suggests that the arrow of time in the microcosm points towards the disappearance of anti-matter in the Universe.
