ABSTRACT

Scientific laws of the universe are time symmetric, which means that they allow for time to ‘flow’ in both directions (past to future as well as future to past). Indeed, some physicists speculate the universe may reverse direction and start moving back to low entropy again, therefore ‘reversing’ experience of time. According to science, the only thing that seems to ‘flow’ in the universe is entropy, with the universe apparently moving from a low entropy (organised) state to a high entropy (disorganised) one. However, consciousness also assists in the further evolution of new brain states, by recalling previous brain states and anticipating future brain states. This creates the sense that the peoples are moving from past to present to future.
