Entropy And Time

Entropy generally means the degree of disorder or uncertainty in a system. Entropy is often cited as an example of the irreversibility of time. Supposedly, time moves like an arrow in one direction and cannot be reversed.

One common example of entropy is the placing of a bottle of ink with the top removed in an aquarium of water. After a period of time, the ink will have flowed out of the bottle and will have been replaced by water from the aquarium. This will occur by the usual collisions of molecules.

Now, consider the reverse. It is far more difficult, in fact it is almost impossible by random chance, for the molecules of ink, dispersed throughout the water of the aquarium, to spontaneously return into the ink bottle.

Examples like this are given to attest to the irreversibility of time. Time can move only forward. For it to move backward would require that the ink dispersed throughout the water in the aquarium be able to return to the bottle as easily as it originally left it. Clearly, this is not possible.

However in my Theory Of Stationary Space, discussed here, time is only something that is perceived by living things. Time does not exist in absolute reality, there are four dimensions of space that we occupy and we experience one of them as time. So how does this theory explain examples of entropy, such as the ink bottle in the aquarium?

I would like to point out that every meaningful example of entropy that I have ever heard of involves either living things, or objects created by living things, such as the ink bottle and the aquarium. I can think of no real example of entropy involving inanimate matter. Entropy basically means that order breaks down into disorder much more easily than the reverse.

Time is indeed irreversible, but the fact that meaningful examples of this are limited to either living things or objects made by living things actually goes to show that my theory must be correct. Time and it's irreversibility is limited to living things and is meaningless in the universe of inanimate matter. This is because time is only something that is perceived by living things
