Re: What is time?

I don't know if I would say entropy is the "cause" of all change but rather it is the "explanation" of it in a closed system.

So if you think of entropy as flowing like a river, there are eddy currents in places where the flow is in the opposite direction, leading to some local increases in order. Life on earth would be an example of this, powered by the greater entropy of the sun.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
