The arrow of time doesn’t move forward forever. There’s a phase in the history of the universe where you go from low entropy to high entropy. But then, once you reach the locally maximum entropy you can get to, there’s no more arrow of time. Sean M. Carroll Read Quote
I’m trying to understand how time works. And that’s a huge question that has lots of different aspects to it. Sean M. Carroll Read Quote
The fact that you can remember yesterday but not tomorrow is because of entropy. The fact that you’re always born young and then you grow older, and not the other way around like Benjamin Button – it’s all because of entropy. So I think that entropy is underappreciated as something that has a crucial role in how we go through life. Sean M. Carroll Read Quote
