Natural time vs abstract time
With the development of Mathematics, abstract time arises. According to the equations, time flows from the past to the future and from the future to the past. For equations it is the same that time is irreversible.
But natural time only flows in one direction: from the past to the future. This is the law of the arrow of time. The arrow of time is the law itself. Entropy is a law of Thermodynamics, and is an application of the law of the arrow of time.
The events of reality are governed by the law of the time arrow. for example, the life of animals develops from birth to death. An egg that falls to the ground breaks and does not come back up and put itself back together. A song develops from the beginning to the end. Etc etc. etc
Let's remember the definition of time given by Philochrony: time is the periodic evolution that we use to measure the duration of things and determine when events occur. While duration is the continuous succession of irreversible changes that go from the past (before) to the future (after) passing through the present.
