Good post; pathetic theory.
Entropy is unusable energy, not necessarily disorder. The Big Bang theory defies our laws of physics, so that sort of event probably never happened. Time won't run backwards just because the universe starts contracting, etc...

It's a part of Karl Rove's evil plan to prevent liberals from changing the past.

Time is only a perception. It doesn't really exist.

All I know is that in my younger years I often wished fervently that I could make time flow backwards - usually when I woke up with a girl who somehow was far less attractive than she was at last call.

I believe you are correct. High energy state to lower. FWIW my dog doesn't tell time or care. I envy her.

Carroll and Chen's research addresses two ambitious questions: why does time flow in only one direction? How do they know it does? Perhaps we only perceive it flowing in one direction only because we're in an accelerated frame of reference with respect to time.

If time could move frontwards and backwards, John Kerry could take back his unvoting for the $87 billion before his voting for it. Does that make sense?

You can always increase the entropy more by creating a new universe and allowing it to expand and cool off," Carroll explained. Oh, wow! I think we'll try this for a science project tomorrow!
