"The one physical law that is not time reversible is the 2nd law of thermodynamics which says that entropy must always increase with time.

Entropy increasing is what provides the “arrow” that makes time flow in one direction. Entropy distinguishes past from future. Entropy increasing is what lets clocks work and allows us to remember the past."

My eternal question: What wound up the clock in the first place?
