The Science of Time - Carlo Rovelli
He further argues that the perceived 'flow' of time and the distinction between past and future are emergent properties arising from thermodynamics and entropy (heat dissipation), rather than fundamental features of the summaryThe arrow of time is thermodynamic: The distinction between past and future arises from entropy and heat dissipation. In a state of thermal equilibrium (no heat flow), there is no physical way to distinguish past from futakeawayMemory requires dissipation: The ability to remember the past and not the future is linked to energy dissipation. A brain in thermal equilibrium cannot form memories; thinking itself is a dissipative process similar to atakeaway
