The question is often asked, why does time seem to progress in the
increasing entropy direction? But if time were in fact progressing in
the decreasing entropy direction, we would know no different. For
example, if we were living in a simulation where 2009 is run first and
2008 is run second according to an external clock, we would not be
able to tell from within the simulation. The real arrow of time
question should be: why does entropy increase in the same direction in
every observed part of the universe? For only if the glass shattering
occurred in a direction different to that of the mind of the observer
would something unusual be noticed.
