By mathematically proving how individual molecules create the complex motion of fluids, three mathematicians have illuminated why time can’t flow in reverse.
Note
it is comforting to have a model of thinking about time.
to be told time doesn't exists conflicts with our experience (much like being told there is no free will).
but to model the difference of experiences by the perspective of being on the 'inside' vs 'outside' helps us to validate our experience but accept the story that the math is telling us.
