>>7670454Time is not a unidirectional process. We intuitively perceive time as the edge of a great waterfall, whereas events in the future future are moving towards us as sticks in the stream, the past has fallen into the void, and the present is the interface between.
But this is not so. Time is more like a ball rolling down an incline. In the absence of other forces, in the absence of changes in the degree of the slope, it moves from higher "energy" to lower "energy". Quantum physics, the most accurate of any model ever produced by man, shows that all observed events are actually stochastics.
It is not a hard and fast rule that the ball follow the incline at all moments. It is just the most likely by far, it is the trend to which all things tend towards after enough time. This calculation illustrates the case where a temporary aberation, a stutter causes the ball to pop up and then briefly attain a state which was further uphill, before descending again. In the case of this study, that event was found to occur only once over 10 billion electrons in the lifetime of the universe.
This does not suggest anything against the Second Law. The Second Law only says that the incline is only ever slanted in one direction.
Smoothbrain media implies that physicists were able to reach into the Universe and reverse time. Haha.
