In this paper I suggest a possible explanation for the asymmetry of time. In the models that I study, the dynamical laws and the boundary conditions are completely symmetric, but the behaviour of time is not. The underlying mechanism is a spontaneously broken symmetry on the micro-level which is closely related to the idea of multiple histories in quantum mechanics. The situations that I will discuss are very simple and could even in a sense be called classical, but the character of the mechanism is so general that the results are likely to carry over to more complicated cases. Since the computational difficulties are enormous, I mainly use heuristic methods and computer computations to exploit these ideas.
