Abstrakt: It was demonstrated in a recent paper (Mod. Phys. Lett.A13, 1265 (1998), hep-th/9902020) that the existence of a nonthermodynamic arrow of time at the atomic level is a fundamental requirement for conservation of energy in matter-radiation interaction. In this letter we show that the cosmic microwave background radiation can provide this time's arrow to all particles in the universe that are acted on by the electromagnetic field.
