Re: Krishnamurti on the Ending of Time

The problem of the direction of time arises directly from two contradictory facts. Firstly, the law of nature, i.e., our fundamental physics are time-reversal invariant. In other words the laws of physics are such that anything that can happen moving forward through time is just as possible moving backwards in time. Or, put in another way, through the eyesof physics, there will be no distinction, in terms of possibility, between what happens in a movie if the film is run forward, or if the film is run backwards.
The second fact is that our experience of time, at the macroscopic level, is not time-reversal invariant. Glasses  fall and break all the time, but shards of glass do not put themselves back together and fly up on tables. We have memories of the past, and none of the future. We feel we can't change the past but can affect the future.
