Why do we remember the past, but not the future?

I would rather be right than rigorous.

I do not believe in a personal God.

Science does not deny religion, it just offers a simpler alternative.

Just like a computer, we must remember things in the order in which entropy increases. This makes the second law of thermodynamics almost trivial. Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases. You can't have a safer bet than that!

If it [the universe] was expanding fairly slowly, the force of gravity would cause it eventually to stop expanding and then to start contracting. However, if it was expanding at more than a certain critical rate, gravity would never be strong enough to stop it, and the universe would continue to expand forever.

It often happens that I have an idea, but then I try to fill in the intermediate steps and find they don't work, so I have to give it up.
