Re: What is time?
A hot material may cool by endothermic reaction taking place, a gas may cool by expansion. When the initial state isn't stable, these things may take place spontaneously. It doesn't mean going to a lower overall entropy. Have some very pure hot water in an excellent Dewar jar and let it reach equilibrium, then dump in some salt that you previously brought to the same temperature. What will happen?
When you say a system is at maximum entropy, I don't see there could be room for cooling to take place.
