We Are Living Through A Remarkably Privileged

You Should Never Be Surprised By Or Feel The Need To Explain Why Any Physical System Is In A High Entropy State.

I Think Math Is A Hugely Creative Field, Because There Are Some Very Well-defined Operations That You Have To Work Within. You Are, In A Sense, Straightjacketed By The Rules Of The Mathematics. But Within That Constrained Environment, It's Up To You What You Do With The Symbols.

Time Allows Change To Take Place And The Very Evolution Of The Universe Is What Requires Some Conception Of Time. Mathematically Can We Write Down A Universe That Doesn't Have Time? Sure. Do We Think That Would Be Realised In The Larger Reality That Is Out There? None Of Us Take That Possibility Seriously.

...things Are The Way They Are In Our Universe Because If They Weren't, We Wouldn't Be Here To Notice.

The Revelation We've Come To Is That We Can Trust Our Memories Of A Past With Lower, Not Higher, Entropy Only If The Big Bang - The Process, Event, Or Happening That Brought The Universe Into Existence - Started Off The Universe In An Extraordinarily Special, Highly Ordered State Of Low Entropy.
