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. [Re-sourced: original [^arrow-of-time] was a descriptive note with no citation.]

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
