Part 9/11:
The model posits that entropy was at its lowest after the Big Bang, perhaps explaining the directionality of time as we observe it today. The question arises: Why was entropy so low at the universe's inception? While scientific understanding remains incomplete, several theories suggest that if entropy has no upper limit, then no matter where the universe began, it would have emerged in a low-entropy state, only able to ascend toward a higher entropy as time progresses.
The implications of increasing entropy extend not just to the physical cosmos but to the very essence of life and consciousness. Alan Guth's ideas suggest that without the continual increase of information and entropy, consciousness as we know it would not exist.
