[Intro]
(Do you know)
How to draw the bow
(Shoot the arrow of time)
[Verse 1]
Do you know
(If it’s time to go)
Are we in our prime
(Hear the clocks chime)
[Bridge]
(Do you know)
How to draw the bow
(Shoot the arrow of time)
[Chorus]
Entropy
(Memory and causality)
Reality
(And relativity)
[Verse 2]
Do you know
(Which way to go)
They said, “move ahead”
(We lack going back)
[Bridge]
(Do you know)
How to draw the bow
(Shoot the arrow of time)
[Chorus]
Entropy
(Memory and causality)
Reality
(And relativity)
[Outro]
From the arrow quiver
(Draw a sliver)
Pull back the string
(And start your fling)
ABOUT THE SONG
In physics, time is not a simple flow but a complex dimension governed by the laws of thermodynamics, relativity, and quantum mechanics.
The Arrow of Time (Thermodynamics)
While most fundamental equations in physics are time-symmetric (they work the same forward and backward), our reality has a clear “one-way” direction called the Arrow of Time.
* Entropy: The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that entropy (disorder) in an isolated system always increases over time. This creates the distinction between past and future; the future is simply the direction of higher entropy.
* Memory and Causality: Our psychological perception of time is tied to this arrow. Creating a memory is a physical process that releases heat, thereby increasing entropy. This is why we remember the past but not the future.
