Thermodynamic time

Thermodynamic time refers to the direction of time as understood through the laws of thermodynamics, particularly the second law, which states that entropy (disorder) in a closed system tends to increase over time. This means that processes naturally progress from order to disorder, creating a "arrow of time" that aligns our experience of the past, present, and future. In essence, thermodynamic time highlights how energy transformations and the tendency for systems to become more disordered give us a clear way to define time's progression in the universe.
