核心要点
When Time Flows Both Ways
Why does time move forward? Why do we remember yesterday but not tomorrow? These questions have puzzled humanity since we first gazed at the stars. Traditional physics offers an unsatisfying answer: the universe just happened to start in a highly ordered state, and it's been sliding into chaos ever since. But what if we've been thinking about this backwards? What if time's arrow isn't a consequence of special initial conditions, but emerges naturally from the universe's fundamental architecture? This revolutionary idea challenges everything we thought we knew about cosmic history, transforming our understanding from a tale of decay into one of perpetual creation.
