re: #508 Black Cat, White Cat

It doesn’t actually work backward. The opposite law works backward. Not the one that works in our direction. That it is changed means that it’s not working. The other laws work without changing. Which is why they’re invariant, and 2LoT is not.

I’m not disagreeing that it’s invariant. I’m saying that it’s the opposite. The exact opposite.

It’s a different mathematical expression and a different law. It’s not equivalent to the second law of thermodynamics. It’s its opposite.

Right. The exact opposite. Which means, if you’re not considering time, that they’re the same. Time goes one way, one is A and the other is B. Time goes the other way, one is B and the other is A.

Yes, you have to change the second law of thermodynamics. That it’s similar to our second law in layman’s view doesn’t change the fact that it’s a different law.

It’s not ‘similar’, it’s opposite.

Your idea was that “time’s linearity may simply be a perspective thing”. However this ignores causality.

Yes, causality may be illusory.

Universe evolves in a specific direction, with recognizable causes preceding effects (e.g. hominid apes -> humans).

You’re begging the question of the direction of time when you say that, though. And not even all humans share that perception, anyway.
