Science Fiction

Is entropy's one-directional-ness have any relation with time's one-directional-ness? Btw, I know entropy isn't actually one-directional, it just appears that way after the summary of most probable micro-states.

I'm just fantasizing here

Imagine all the multiverses were "microstates"
and that time we experienced was actually the "macrostate" from the most probable / equivalent "microstates"

To go back in time would in essence, try to go back against the most probable "microstates", virtually impossible

To go at the speed of light would means the microstate would be expressed at the universal speed limit ~ at exactly a fixed ordered set of directions, the person would be traveling would be living straight accord to destiny.

 

---a response---

Entropy has nothing to do with most probable states. It is a measure of accessible quantum states of a system.
Time is a parameter, entropy is a dynamical variable (time dependent).
Even in relativistic systems entropy is parameterized by time. It is just that the notion of a quantum state is supplemented by Lorentz invariant field operators acting on vacuum.
