Disorder Quote by Stephen Hawking

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

— Stephen Hawking

So far as physics is concerned, time's arrow is a property of entropy alone.

— Arthur Eddington

“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

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

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

— Stephen Hawking

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

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

Or in other words, why does disorder increase in the same direction of time as that in which the universe expands?

— Stephen Hawking

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

The particular aspect of time that I'm interested in is the arrow of time: the fact that the past is different from the future.…

— Sean M. Carroll

People think of time as a continuum composed of points which is stretched out at a line, and even if you add a direction…

— William Lane Craig

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