This creates the distinction between past and future; the future is simply the direction of higher entropy.<br \/>\n*    Memory and Causality: Our psychological perception of time is tied to this arrow. Creating a memory is a physical process that releases heat, thereby increasing entropy. This is why we remember the past but not the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the album &#8220;<a href=\"\/songwriter\/tag\/the-future\/\">The Future<\/a>&#8220;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Intro] (Do you know) How to draw the bow (Shoot the arrow of time) [Verse 1] Do you know (If it&#8217;s time to go) Are we in our prime (Hear the clocks chime) [Bridge] (Do you know) How to draw the bow (Shoot the arrow of time) [Chorus] Entropy (Memory and causality) Reality (And relativity) [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,9,14],"tags":[4200],"class_list":["post-50243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-4d-music","category-daniel","category-lyrics","tag-the-future"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50243"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50272,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50243\/revisions\/50272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
