Arrows of time and space
SMRTR summary
Physicists have identified fundamental "arrows" that give direction to time and space in our universe, breaking the symmetry that would otherwise make all directions equivalent. These directional preferences emerge from thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and cosmological expansion, explaining why time flows forward and space has preferred orientations.
