see below) that requires a particular direction for time, sometimes called an <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Arrow_of_time\">arrow of time<\/a>. As one goes &#8220;forward&#8221; in time, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Second_law_of_thermodynamics\">second law of thermodynamics says<\/a>, the entropy of an isolated system can increase, but not decrease. Hence, from one perspective, entropy measurement is a way of distinguishing the past from the future. However in thermodynamic systems that are not closed, entropy can decrease with time: many systems, including <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Entropy_and_life\">living systems<\/a>, reduce local entropy at the expense of an environmental increase, resulting in a net increase in entropy. Examples of such systems and phenomena include the formation of typical crystals, the workings of a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Refrigerator\">refrigerator<\/a> and living organisms.<\/p>\n<p><b>Scott:<\/b> That is a really difficult topic to get my head around.
