  The BABAR and Belle experiments have made detailed studies of time-dependent
CP violation in the B meson sector. If CPT is conserved, CP violation should
imply the presence of time-reversal violation. Production of entangled neutral
B mesons in definite flavor states (B0 or anti-B0) decaying to J/psi K_L or c
anti-c K_S final states permit comparisons between the probabilities of four
pairs of T-conjugated transitions as a function of the time interval between
the two B decays. Using 468 million B anti-B pairs produced in Y(4S) decays
collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B-factory at the SLAC National
Accelerator Laboratory, we find non-zero values for T-violating parameters.
This represents the first direct observation of T violation in the B meson
system via the exchange of initial and final states in transitions that can
only be related by a T-symmetry transformation.
