Is Entropy Going Down?
In the laws of physics, if entropy has been going up for a long time, it can start going down in the whole universe. consciousness always perceives entropy to be increasing along what it calls the direction of time. But even that is not yunow, you shouldn't take those statements too seriously, because theye are different ways for entropy to increase and decrease.
