"I'm not a physicist at all, so I have to start with an immediate disclaimer here," he says. "What I had been thinking about for the last few months is how the nervous system has really come to be in the course of the evolution of the universe and the evolution of life" He then goes on to ask why we've seen more and more entropy accumulate as the universe has gone on.
