Why Do You Remember The Past But Not The Future?

The video explores the concept of time symmetry and the brain's perception of time, discussing how the laws of physics describe both forward and backward time evolution. It delves into the second law of thermodynamics, explaining how entropy increases over time and how this relates to our mental sense of time. The video uses analogies, such as asteroids and particle physics, to illustrate how memory and time perception are linked to entropy and correlation. It concludes by discussing the role of quantum entanglement in defining the arrow of time.
