| Jun 19, 2016 at 0:31 | comment | added | Peter R | Entropy always increases with time but there is no reason to assume that entropy controls the direction of time. Hawking acknowledged that he was wrong when he assumed time would reverse if the Universe contracted and entropy began to increase. | |
