Understanding Entropy and Its Relation to Time

Entropy is the measure of disorder in a system and it tends to increase with time. This gives a direction to time as things go from ordered to disordered states.

Entropy, Thermodynamics
Summary

The drive towards ever-increasing disorder (entropy) and the drive towards refinement and complexity both shape the trajectory of the universe. While the second law of thermodynamics tells us that overall entropy and disorder will go up, local regions of lower entropy can exist at the expense of generating heat that dissipates into the wider world.

Summary

The universe is asymmetric in time due to the fact that entropy is expanding. Physics explains that time does not exist in this universe as spreading things out is the foundation of the second law of entropy.

Markov chains
Summary

The entropy of a stationary Markovian dynamics is constant, meaning that there is no entropic time. However, any projection made of that dynamics by conditional probability will have increasing entropy, resulting in entropic time.
