Now if they could only figure out why voter fraud only flows in favor of the Democrats...

""You can turn an egg into an omelet, but not an omelet into an egg," Carroll said. "

Try feeding the omelet to a chicken.

Nahhh, time is circular.

And where would a discussion thread about time be without, "Time flies like the wind. And fruit flies like bananas."

That's assuming dimension Time flows ... it might also just be oriented in a fashion 'like' past is linear, present is planar, and future is volumetric.

Just think we all get to pay for this drivel thanks to government grants.

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.

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!

Science has a way of claiming to have all the answers of history, and yet it has not satisfactorily defined time itself.
