The increase of disorder or entropy with time is one example of what is called an arrow of time, something that distinguishes the past… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
The arrow of time doesn't move forward forever. There's a phase in the history of the universe where you go from low entropy to… — Sean M. Carroll Copy Share Image
The weird thing about the arrow of time is that it's not to be found in the underlying laws of physics. It's not there.… — Sean M. Carroll Copy Share Image
“Only when a system behaves in a sufficiently random way may the difference between past and future, and therefore irreversibility, enter into its description...The… — Ilya Prigogine Copy Share Image
Time's arrow, we are told, is a one-way thing. . . Memory's arrow, like the needle of a compass too close to a lodestone,… — Russell Hoban Copy Share Image
The increase of disorder or entropy is what distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Just like a computer, we must remember things in the order in which entropy increases. This makes the second law of thermodynamics almost trivial.… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Time has two aspects. There is the arrow, the running river, without which there is no change, no progress, or direction, or creation. And… — Ursula K. Le Guin Copy Share Image
You may see a cup of tea fall off a table and break into pieces on the floor... But you will never see the… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Someday, when the ultimate laws of physics are in our grasp, we may discover that the notion of time isn't actually essential. Time might… — Sean M. Carroll Copy Share Image
Entropy is not about speeds or positions of particles, the way temperature and pressure and volume are, but about our lack of information. — Hans Christian von Baeyer Copy Share Image
Time has a certain current to it, and it wants to flow in a certain direction. — Marc Guggenheim Copy Share Image
Observation and theory get on best when they are mixed together, both helping one another in the pursuit of truth. It is a good… — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
Proof is an idol before which the mathematician tortures himself. — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
It is one thing for the human mind to extract from the phenomena of nature the laws which it has itself put into them;… — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
Don't believe the results of experiments until they're confirmed by theory. — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
Probably the simplest hypothesis... is that there may be a slow process of annihilation of matter. — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
There was a time when we wanted to be told what an electron is. The question was never answered. No familiar conceptions can be… — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
To the pure geometer the radius of curvature is an incidental characteristic - like the grin of the Cheshire cat. To the physicist it… — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
The universe will finally become a ball of radiation, becoming more and more rarified and passing into longer and longer wave-lengths. The longest waves… — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
Science is one thing, wisdom is another. Science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers. — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
We often think that when we have completed our study of one we know all about two, because 'two' is 'one and one.' We… — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
If your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I give you no hope; there is nothing for it but… — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
With the arrival of electric technology, man has extended, or set outside himself, a live model of the central nervous system itself. To the… — Marshall McLuhan Copy Share Image
Pure essence, and pure matter, and the two joined into one were shot forth without flaw, like three bright arrows from a three-string bow. — Dante Alighieri Copy Share Image
