Disorder Quote by Stephen Hawking

Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases.

— Stephen Hawking

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

— Stephen Hawking

The total disorder in the universe, as measured by the quantity that physicists call entropy, increases steadily over time. Also, the total order in…

Just like a computer, we must remember things in the order in which entropy increases. This makes the second law of thermodynamics almost trivial.…

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

The increase of disorder or entropy with time is one example of what is called an arrow of time, something that distinguishes the past…

“A law in physics, called the second law of thermodynamics, says that entropy, or chaos (the opposite of growth…a winding-down process), increases over time.…

In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast.

— Quentin Crisp

Time can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions.

— Stephen Hawking

The irreversibility of time is the mechanism that brings order out of chaos.
