Why Doesn't Time Flow Backwards? (Big Picture Ep. 1/5)

The video explores the concept of time in physics, highlighting the symmetry in microscopic laws and the unique directionality in macroscopic systems due to the second law of thermodynamics. It discusses how entropy increases over time, shaping the universe's evolution from the low entropy state of the Big Bang to a future of high entropy equilibrium. The video explains that the universe's initial low entropy state is crucial for the flow of time and the development of life. Ultimately, the universe will reach a state of emptiness, where time's arrow disappears, and life becomes impossible.
