These two are inextricably linked to our creation - past and future. Despite what we think the scientists claim, the truth is that we are nowhere close to understanding to the absolute micro and the absolute macro. Now, given the inconsistencies between how the past and future might be linked and the effects of entropy, there seems to be new thinking making rounds everyday. Here is another thinking that this article in Scientific American talks about - that Universe maybe not just be expanding and contracting but also maybe turning inside out when it reaches one \"end\" just like you could turn a balloon inside out and blow it from the other side. On both the sides it might seem as though this was the only experience little realizing that the arrow of time not be a straight line after all! Some cosmologists imagine that the universe went through a \u201cbounce.\u201d Before this event, space was contracting, but instead of simply crashing to a point of infinite density, new physical principles\u2014quantum gravity, extra dimensions, string theory or other exotic phenomena\u2014kicked in to save the day at the last minute, and the universe came out the other side into what we now perceive as the big bang. Though intriguing, bouncing cosmologies do not explain the arrow of time. Either entropy was increasing as the prior universe approached the crunch\u2014in which case the arrow of time stretches infinitely far into the past\u2014or the entropy was decreasing, in which case an unnatural low-entropy condition occurred in the middle of the universe\u2019s history (at the bounce). Either way, we have again passed the buck on the question of why the entropy near what we call the big bang was small."}
