THE FORWARD DIRECTION OF TIME

How do you mean? do you mean like the way I recycle things time and time again?

that sounds very Greek to me.

If time is recycled do different end products result?
If i recycle plastic bottles sometimes I end up with plastic outdoor furniture. If i recycle the plastic outdoor furniture i may end up with plastic drainage pipes.

When I recycle my waste products often new raw material is added in order to achieve the result we desire.
Could it be the same with time?

I can only imagine that there have been people way before the Greeks that have recycled time and time again. Don't even animals do it even though they are not conscious of it?

I really have not thought about it indepth, from what I have been told it is a measurement, "kind of like what is taken by a tape measure and it is used to measure elapse between events. Good luck though on you quest RSL

Thanks North, you are well informed you will be able to help many that read your work.
Learning can be fun!

Well north the sad truth is that I have a bad memory I did learn about here and yes it could have been from you. I could research my post to see where I read it at. Do you know weather it was from you in the past or not?

but could it not also looked from the perspective that time also recycles

You mean that once time runs long enough, it will eventually loop back to this current moment, as if you traveled around the Earth?

It's a fascinating idea, no doubt. But I don't think it would work; the Second Law of Thermodynamics prohibits it:

1. Because the universe "now" would be the same as the universe "now, but one turn of the time-loop later", so would its entropy.
   
2. But by the Second Law of Thermodynamics, entropy in a closed system can only increase, and the universe as a whole is a closed system.
3. Consequently, the entropy of the universe "now, but one turn of the loop later" must be higher than its entropy "now".

How would you reconcile your idea with the Second Law of Thermodynamics?

balance

for example sooner or later the moon will be turned into energy

either by collision from travelling matter or by us

Maybe, but that's the easy part. The hard part is, how do you convert the energy back into the moon? If time loops back, and if in three gazillion years time would come back to this very moment---now---there would have to be a time somewhere in the loop where the energy produces the moon again. It is this part that would violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
