The energy associated with space is the reason why the energy of the universe increases as it expands over time.
24:03 - 27:10 (03:06)
Summary
The energy associated with space is the reason why the energy of the universe increases as it expands over time. The mismatch in dark energy in the universe is just evidence of time and the energy of the universe is not constant, but increasing.

The initial conditions of the universe dictate the future and the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy will always increase over time, resulting in more disorder and space.

Summary
The initial conditions of the universe dictate the future and the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy will always increase over time, resulting in more disorder and space. Therefore, order at the beginning of the universe is necessary for its origin and time and causation are emergent.

The local reversal of entropy involves doing work on the environment and positioning objects to fight against disorder, which requires the resource of time.
29:14 - 32:44 (03:29)
Summary
The local reversal of entropy involves doing work on the environment and positioning objects to fight against disorder, which requires the resource of time. This is because human beings are able to think creatively beyond the bounds of our universe, indicating a universe without time is flawed.
