Primes¶
- Entropy (Thermodynamic Sense)
- The relationship between entropy and the arrow of time remains debated, especially in cosmology where the initial condition (low-entropy big bang) is contingent rather than deducible from fundamental dynamics
This sourceArgues the thermodynamic arrow of time traces to the universe's low-entropy initial condition rather than to dynamical law, and engages the Boltzmann-brain problem of why our low-entropy past is atypical.
