Direction of time

Where does the difference between the past and the future come from?

The laws of science do not distinguish between the past and the future. Yet there is a big difference berween the past and the future in ordinary life.

You may see a cup of tea fall off of a table and break into pieces on the floor. But you will never see the cup gather itself back together and jump back on the table.

The increase of disorder or entropy is what distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time.

My direction: Here. My time: Present. Disordering the flow to distinguish my past: Busy from my future: Free.

Yes. I am Back.

Thanks for reading. Until next time. Soon. :P
