Atoms and Hourglasses
Time is our most elusive companion—forever in motion, yet never seen directly. From ancient days, we’ve chased it with sundials, water clocks, and the quietly mesmerizing hourglass. Today, we chase it still, using lasers and cesium atoms to create clocks so precise they barely lose a second in millions of years. An hourglass is simplicity…

A Devil’s Wish Granted
“Entropy is the only quantity, other than Time itself which Always increases with Time. It has been argued that time flows the way it does due to the laws of entropy. Some conspiracy theorists suggest that time is nothing but a measure of change in entropy itself.”
